The Career Technical Education Foundation (CTEF) is a non-profit organization that leverages private and public funding to progress career technical education in alignment with Sonoma County's workforce needs. Its mission is to innovate the education-to-career experience, strengthening economic development and student success. 

We at Advanced Viticulture stand by this organization that supports technical and trade education for students who may not be initially drawn to a four-year college plan, but who wish to develop skills for a specific trade. Knowing that our support is putting materials and supplies directly into the hands of students is something we are proud to associate ourselves with.

This year's FREE virtual fundraiser will be hosted by Lisa Wittke Schaffner and Dano From Froggy 92.9, with special guest Senator Mike McGuire. 

This year, the CTE Foundation will expand the program with a goal to bring hands-on projects to students in a broader range of classes. Grant applications have already been received, including for Business Entrepreneurship, Engineering, Wood Shop, Photography & Video Production, and Metal shop.
