Why We’re Supporting the Queen Julie Allegro Every Napa resident deserves world-class health care. The V Foundation for Cancer Research was founded in 1993 by famed basketball coach Jim Valvano and ESPN with the objective of funding leading edge cancer research and treatment programs.

The V Foundation is proud to support Queen of the Valley in its ongoing efforts to provide the best medical care for all Napa residents. We urge you to do the same with a generous contribution of your own. Because in a time of medical crisis, where would the Napa Valley be without the Queen? • Venture Capitalist • Board member, The V Foundation for Cancer Research • Founder and Chairwoman, The V Wine Celebration
