“TEAMWORK IS THE BEAUTY OF OUR SPORT WHEN YOU HAVE FIVE ACTING AS ONE.” - MIKE “COACH K” KRZYZEWSKI

Coach K Scott Hamilton Robin Roberts Joe Theismann Lou Holtz MISSION STATEMENT

The V Foundation for Cancer Research is a charitable organization dedicated to saving lives by helping to find a cure for cancer. The V Foundation seeks to make a difference by generating broad-based support for cancer research by creating an urgent awareness among all Americans of the importance of the war against cancer. The V Foundation performs these dual roles through advocacy, education, fundraising and philanthropy. The V Foundation Wine Celebration is a world-class auction and series of wine events benefiting the V Foundation for Cancer Research.

Set in the Napa Valley, the V Foundation Wine “ Celebration brings together people from the investment community, technology, medical, sports, entertainment and wine worlds to raise money for the fight against cancer. Time is very precious to me. The three-day signature fundraiser has raised I don’t know how much I have left, and nearly $90 million since its inception in 1999. I have some things that I would like to say. Hopefully, at the end, I will have said something that will be important to other people too. - V HOSTS

Although Far Niente was founded in 1885, the winery’s modern era dates from 1979, when Gil & Beth Nickel rescued the long- abandoned stone winery in Oakville and began restoration of the historic estate. After years together working on their dream, Far Niente, Nickel & Nickel, and Dolce became globally recognized with their highly sought-after wines.

In 2003, Gil passed away due to an aggressive form of melanoma. Just three months before his death, despite being gravely ill, Gil made his final public appearance at the V Foundation Wine Celebration. Gil got up to the microphone, thanked everyone for what they were doing for cancer research and said, “We are just one miracle away from having everything just right in our fight against cancer.” That same year, Beth joined with the V Foundation to run a successful campaign to endow the $1 million Gil Nickel Fund, which was awarded to the UCLA Jonsson Comprehensive Cancer Center in support of melanoma research.

Nickel & Nickel has been a supporter of the V Foundation for many years and since 2005 has graciously hosted the V Foundation Wine Celebration Gala at their Oakville Winery Estate. It’s with tremen- dous gratitude that we celebrate Beth Nickel and the Partners of Nickel & Nickel, who have made their winery our home.

2005

The V Foundation became fully endowed at the inaugural gala at Nickel & Nickel and now awards 100% of all direct cash donations to benefit cancer research and related programs. Each endowment dollar leverages up more than $8 for research. all-stars of cancer research

The V Foundation is dedicated to awarding 100% of all cash donations to cancer research. We do not collect a fee or collect a percentage from donations to support our operations. Rather, we rely on an endowment fund to cover our operating expenses.

The V Foundation is dedicated to awarding 100% of all cash donations to cancer research. To cover our operating expens- es, we rely on an endowment fund created by the V Board of Directors nearly two decades ago. Since that time, Board members and long-time supporters of the Foundation have made contributions specifically to fund the endowment. The endowment is a pool of assets, a portion of which is used for ongoing operations and other specified purposes annually. The remaining assets and investment re­turns are retained to support future growth. Most of our endowment funds are board designated. A “board designated” endowment allows the V Foundation to use funds to invest both the income and the principal, if so directed by our board, in our organization’s success. And that success is measured as more funds raised and more funds invested in cutting edge research.

A gift to the endowment is a wise investment.

A strong endowment provides us with financial stability and allows our Board to “think outside the box” when considering fund- raising opportunities. During 2018, we will be strengthening the V Foundation endowment to keep us growing and investing 100% of all direct donations to research. We do not plan to raise enough funds to keep the Foundation running forever. We fully believe that cures to cancer are forthcoming. Our plan is to raise $40 million, enough funds to run a strong but lean organization until that day arrives. When it does, we will spend any remaining monies on the needs of cancer survivors who have been cured.

A gift to the endowment has high returns.

The return on a strong endowment comes from its ability to cover all of our operating and fundraising costs. It means that we spend ALL of our direct donations and ALL of our event proceeds on our mission. One hundred cents on the dollar is a power- ful incentive for new and existing donors. A strong endowment builds our ability to make more grants and make curing cancer a reality. the man behind the v

Jim Valvano once commented, “There are 86,400 seconds in a day. It’s up to you to decide what to do with them.” He reached the highest level of success as the legendary NCSU basketball coach and then as an award-winning commentator at ABC and ESPN. He authored three books, gave hundreds of motivational speeches to corporations across the country, hosted weekly and radio broadcasts and created his own corporation. He was a man possessed by life and all of the opportunities that it had to offer.

In 1993, Jim was diagnosed with terminal cancer. At a lunch with Jim & Pam Valvano, Steve Bornstein, then- president of ESPN, suggested starting a foundation for cancer research and offered ESPN’s sup- port. Jim's passion lives on now stronger than ever in the people of ESPN who give freely of their time, Jim and his daughter, LeeAnn resources and creativity to support the mission of the V Foundation for Cancer Research. They do it in ways big and small, all year round through the ESPN V Committees, established by ESPN President , who expanded ESPN’s involvement in fundraising for the V Foundation, and the growing number of Team ESPN members across the country.

Perhaps it was Jim’s deep love of humanity that allowed him to share the details of his darkest hour with millions of strangers that would become his closest confidants, creating the bond that would ultimate- ly support the V Foundation. During one of his final interviews he stated, “I want to help every cancer patient I can now. I don’t know if I can handle that, but it’s the only conceivable good that can come out of this.” Jim proved that he could more than handle his final role as can- cer advocate. He spent the final 10 months Jim Valvano & Mike “Coach K” Krzyzewski of his life giving the world personal insights into the life of a cancer patient in the hope that he could bring attention to a disease that affects millions. He was not afraid to let others witness his weakening body or the tears that he shed when he spoke of his certain death during interviews and public appearances. He knew that his body would lose the battle against cancer, but his
