SAN LUIS OBISPO COUNTY — Local men have already raised over $3,000 to benefit RISE while competing for the King of Sole award to be presented at the Wine Women & Shoes event on September 9 at the Avila Beach Golf Resort.
RISE has brought together the most charming gentlemen from SLO County to serve as “Sole Men” at the Wine Women & Shoes event. These Sole Men will delight our guests with their winning smiles and personalities as they compete for the title “King of Sole.” The winner—who raises the most funds for survivors of sexual assault/abuse and intimate partner violence—will be crowned at the event on September 9.
Wine Women & Shoes features a fashion marketplace, Central Coast wineries, local culinary vendors, and a seated program emceed by local radio DJ and on-air celebrity Adam Montiel, which includes a fashion show, live auction by Storage Wars auctioneer Johan Graham, and the presentation of the 2018 RISE Up Awards.
