PCT MAINTENANCE

DEL RIO VINEYARDS
el Rio Vineyard Estate, family owned and operated, launched
Da partnership with the Pacific Crest Trail Association and their
Rock Point Wines. They kicked off the partnership on Earth Day,
April 22, with a day of Pacific Crest National Scenic Trail mainte-
nance. The winemaking, sales, tasting room, and marketing teams
headed to the Green Springs Summit portion of the Pacific Crest
Trail (PCT) in Southern Oregon to spend the day doing trail clean
up. With shovels and enthusiasm, they helped rebuild and restore
this portion of the trail. The Del Rio Vineyard Estate team loves to
adventure outdoors, and their Rock Point Wines were designed to
highlight that passion and the beautiful state of Oregon, specifically created through inspiration
of the wild and scenic Rogue River that runs at the foot of both Del Rio and Birdseye vineyards.

The Pacific Crest Trail provides a world class wilderness experience that allows people to con-
nect with the outdoors, a valuable experience in today’s world. Trail maintenance helps preserve
the ecosystem, lessening the impact of nature and humans on the environment. Del Rio Vineyard
Estate and Rock Point Wines are incredibly excited as they begin this partnership. They have also
partnered with their Oregon distributor, Columbia Distributing, in a program to raise funds
for the PCT Association. For the months of July, August, and September 2021, $1- per bottle
of Rock Point Wine sold in participating retailers will be donated to the PCT Association to
continue trail preservation efforts and upkeep. What better way to meld two icons of Oregon
and the West Coast!

and Board of Directors to create a movement to find a cure to end this devastating disease,
ALS, [Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis]" said Donald S. Wood, Ph.D., President and CEO of
MDA. "The amount of awareness and funds raised is essential at this critical moment when
so much progress and momentum is underway with clinical trials for people diagnosed with
ALS, and it brings so much hope for cures in the near future."

Drink One for Dane began after Dutch Bros co-founder, Dane Boersma, was diagnosed with
ALS and passed away in 2009. His fight to end ALS continues through his family and the
Dutch Bros' annual giveback, Drink One for Dane, designed by the Boersma family and
Dutch Bros to increase awareness of the disease, raise support for those affected, and support
research to find treatments and cures for ALS.

"There aren't enough words to describe how grateful I am to the customers who came out
to support Drink One for Dane," said Travis Boersma, co-founder of Dutch Bros. "This day
holds a special place in my heart. It's so humbling to see our customers, broistas, operators,
and franchisees come together
to make a difference in the lives
of everyone impacted by ALS."
