Our Sponsors & CORPORATE ALLIANCE PARTNER PROFILE Institutional Funders Columbia Distributing Thank you for making arts and education possible in Sonoma County!

NAMING SPONSOR Answering Business & Community Needs for Nearly 85 Years.

EXCLUSIVE As the exclusive beer partner for Your LBC, Columbia Distributing proudly serves the finest WINE SPONSOR beer brands, including Lagunitas, Modelo, Coors, and Blue Moon, to LBC patrons in its beautifully-updated concession areas. Since 1935, Columbia has helped build some of the best known beverage brands while helping its community partners. Today Columbia services 22,000+ retail customers covering over 171,000 square miles in Oregon, Washington and California. Over 200 beverage companies rely on Columbia for distribution of their products.

Why a distributor? The role of Columbia and other distributors is often confusing to the average consumer… ”why don’t beverage makers just sell and market on their own?” Most do, but partnering The Ernest L. & Ruth W. with a distributor allows them to compete confidently against the big established brands. Finley Foundation Distributors have the logistics, sales, and marketing capabilities that breweries, wineries and ciderhouses don’t. Columbia alone employs nearly 3,000 people who help their supplier partners build a name, establish a brand and generate a loyal following. Columbia ensures consumers have the most choices possible when they walk into their favorite bar, restaurant or grocery store.

It’s not just “a job” at Columbia “We keep a very well-trained and happy workforce,” says Chris Steffanci, President and CEO at Columbia Distributing. The company takes extra effort to educate its team members with specialized beverage knowledge. For example, over 400 employees have completed the first level of Cicerone certification. Cicerone is a title not unlike the wine industry’s sommelier. As the variety and popularity of craft beer grows, so does the range of knowledge needed to properly serve and store each unique style. Training on the various beer and wine styles, tastes and food pairings positions Columbia employees as consultants, not sales people.

Delivering more than beer Columbia Distributing has also been recognized for playing an active role in the communities where it operates. Every year the company gives well over a half-million dollars to national Sonoma County Sheriff’s Office and and local nonprofits, including LBC. In fact, with the help of Columbia’s contribution and AB114 Committee others in the community, the Luther Burbank Center was able to provide education through the arts to over over 40,000 students in 2018! 16 2019 PROGRAM Luther Burbank Center for the Arts | MARCH – MAY CALENDAR-AT-A-GLANCE 17
