Beneficiaries

Benaroya Research Institute at Virginia Mason
Benaroya Research Institute (BRI) is a nonprofit research institute dedicated to discovering the causes and cures of autoimmune diseases including diabetes, arthritis, and multiple sclerosis. Strong integration between innovations in the laboratory and applications in the clinical setting, also known as a “bench to bedside approach,” makes this an ideal team to advance the prevention and treatment of diseases.

Opportunity for Success Scholarship Fund
O Wines owners, Kathy Johanson and Stacy Lill, proudly fund educational scholarships for low income, high potential youth by donating 100% of the net profits from their wine. “O” stands for Opportunity which coincides with their “Opportunity for Success Scholarship” named on behalf of the winery. Buying O Wines is an “Opportunity” to give the gift of education. Thank you for your continued support!
