Riviera Nayarit, Mexico, March 25, 2025. On Saturday, March 22, the stunning Mozzamare Beach Club set the scene for Wines for a Cause, an inspiring evening where wine, gastronomy, and generosity came together for two meaningful causes.
Hosted by Marival Resorts, the event gathered guests, partners, and local supporters to raise funds for Fundación Marival, which helps children from vulnerable communities in Bahía de Banderas, and A Dog’s New Life, dedicated to rescuing and rehoming street dogs.
The evening featured inspiring messages from Pietro Rizzuto, Chief Operating Officer for Marival Group, and Jorie Rizzuto, Board member of A Dog’s New Life Foundation, who shared their passion and commitment to these causes.
Guests enjoyed an extraordinary culinary and wine experience. More than six of the best restaurants in the area participated, each pairing their signature creations with carefully selected wines from renowned brands. A grand charcuterie table added to the evening’s delights, while the sounds of a live Mariachi performance created a festive and heartfelt atmosphere.
One of the night's highlights was a spectacular prize-drawing event featuring more than 60 gifts, all generously donated by our sponsors. This is a true testament to the community's commitment to giving back.
"Wines for a Cause " proves that when we come together as a community, we can create real change. Every toast, every donation, every prize-drawing ticket helped us support children and give street dogs a second chance at life," shared Pietro Rizzuto.
Thanks to the incredible generosity of our guests, sponsors, and partners, Wines for a Cause was a resounding success. It was a night to remember, filled with purpose, connection, and shared dreams.
Marival Resorts and Marival Foundation extend their deepest gratitude to all participating restaurants, wineries, and sponsors whose contributions made this event possible. Every detail reflected the power of the community working together for the greater good, from the exquisite culinary pairings to the fantastic prizes.
The funds raised will directly support Fundación Marival's education, nutrition, and health programs for children and strengthen A Dog's New Life’s rescue and adoption efforts, impacting the lives of those who need it most.
