Garemani Wines
Kristin Garemani, owner of Garemani Wines, an award-winning boutique winery. Despite the demands of her successful business, she continues to extend her time, talents and relentless energy helping to advance the mission and impact of Exceptional Children’s Foundation (ECF). She has been a passionate volunteer and supporter of ECF for over two decades, profoundly impacting the lives of children and adults with special needs throughout Los Angeles.
After serving for several years as a member of ECF’s Board of Directors, Garemani has continued to engage as an ardent and innovative catalyst, volunteer, and benefactor for ECF’s growth and impact. She has created and sponsored a successful series of Wine Tasting and Silent Auction benefits for ECF, now held biannually, and recently sponsored the Second Annual Garemani Golf Tournament benefitting ECF, held at Big Horn Country Club in La Quinta. In establishing and hosting this annual event, Garemani not only raised over $200,000 for ECF’s life-changing programs, but also fostered over 100 critical community connections that will be instrumental in advancing ECF strategic initiatives and enhancing awareness in Los Angeles and the Desert Communities. Cumulatively, she has assisted ECF in raising more than $1 million from sponsored events, and is responsible for substantially elevating ECF’s donor network profile by 20%.
Garemani has continued her tireless efforts to serve ECF’s mission with commitments to promote and directly support a special event in Los Angeles County this March, and to help host ECF’s 76th Anniversary Legends of Impact Gala in June, an event key to ECF reaching this year’s fundraising goal of $1.8 million.
Garemani’s commitment to helping others has also been instilled in her son, Cameron, who has become involved with ECF through advocacy, volunteer service and fundraising. This additional dimensional support extends the Garemani family impact to ECF for generations to come.
