Ladybug Fund Event

This year’s event will once again feature a curated selection of fine wines, local craft beer, gourmet food offerings, and live jazz entertainment. The silent auction will include specialty wines, artwork, and unique experience packages.

Thank you to our generous Vineyard Sponsors:

There are multiple ways you too can support the Ladybug Fund and help expand opportunities for people with disabilities:

• Become an Event Sponsor: Sponsorship opportunities allow organizations and individuals to directly support SOAR365 programs while receiving event recognition and engagement opportunities.
• Donate Items for the Silent Auction: Contribute unique experiences, products, or services to help enhance the event’s auction offerings.
• Contribute to Summer Camp Scholarships: Help provide life-changing camp experiences for children and adults with disabilities at SOAR365’s Summer Camp at Camp Baker.

The Ladybug Fund Winetasting & Silent Auction began in 2000 when parents of children receiving SOAR365 pediatric services organized the event to generate additional support for critical programs. Over the past 25 years, the event has raised more than $3 million to support services for children and families served by SOAR365.

In 2025 alone, the event raised nearly $300,000 through the support of corporate and individual sponsors and attendees. The event also received community recognition, being named one of the Best Charity Fundraising Events or Galas in Richmond Magazine’s reader-voted awards.
