Since then, we have supported this cause through the national Help Find a Cure program spotlighted by the annual NCAA basketball tournament, and through fundraisers, social media campaigns and sponsorships. We also enlist the help of our distributors and partners to further this worthy cause. Disaster Relief Whether through the donation of dollars, supplies, or time, Constellation and our employees step up in times of need. In 2017, Constellation and our employees donated over $1,000,000 to disaster relief efforts following the devastating hurricane season in Florida, Puerto Rico and Texas, the wildfires in California, and the earthquakes in Mexico. In addition to dollars, we partnered with InterVol to transport much-needed supplies and water to Puerto Rico. Haiti Relief Efforts Since 2010's deadly earthquake in Haiti, we have been collaborating with community partners to assist with relief efforts. We have made four trips to Haiti since 2010, transporting medical professionals, much-needed supplies, and employee volunteers. Our support of this cause is ongoing, and we are continuing to work with organizations like InterVol and Rochester General Hospital to make a positive difference in Haiti Concert Series We have long been a supporter of performing arts in our communities. Each year the Constellation Brands-Marvin Sands Performing Arts Center in Canandaigua, New York, and the Robert Mondavi Winery in Napa, California enrich their communities both through their award-winning concert series and their commitment to giving a portion of proceeds to charitable causes. CMAC: Rock on Responsibly Our employees donate their time at the venue all season long and donate their tips to local not for profit organizations which are matched by Constellation Brands. In 2017, over $13,000 was donated to the Canandaigua YMCA, FF Thompson Hospital and Canandaigua Primary The Spot. The Gorham Rotary also operates a concessions stand at the venue and donates all proceeds back to the community. SkyRise Challenge We first participated in SkyRise, a 103-floor stair climb race up the Willis Tower, in 2009. The event raises money for the Rehabilitation Institute of Chicago (RIC), the #1 rehabilitation hospital in the U.S. Biking For Health At five (and growing) locations around the U.S., our “Smooth Finishers” team of employees supports the American Diabetes Association during their Tour de Cure events. Many of our teams and individual employees have been at or near the top for fundraising.

We partner with Chicago Cares, a public and community service organization, on the effort. Supporting Innovative Therapy in Mexico Cabalgando por una Sonrisa (“Riding for a Smile”) is a non-profit organization dedicated to providing physical care through equine and occupational therapy to people with disabilities.

The third-party certification is provided by the California Department of Fish and Game, regional water boards, and the National Marine Fisheries Service.

Napa Green Robert Mondavi Winery and Franciscan Estate are certified under the Napa Green Winery Program by the Napa County Department of Environmental Management and the Association of Bay Area Government’s Green Business Program.

CMAC also partners with JUST boxed water which is made up of 82% renewable resources and is 100% recyclable. It is responsibly sourced, produced and packaged for improved environmental and community impact. Napa River Restoration Project Our Napa Valley Vineyard Operations team collaborated with the EPA, the Napa County Flood Control Agency and other partners on a Napa River Restoration project which benefits wildlife and promotes biodiversity, increases water quality within the restoration zone and improves flood control. The objective was to restore 9 miles of the Napa River from Oakville Cross Road to Oak Knoll Avenue. The restoration project covered public and private property, including our Franciscan Oakville Estate and Wappo Hill Vineyards properties. 1.8 miles of our vineyard properties were redirected for river channel widening which reduces property damage and sediment delivery to prevent bank erosion.

Since the program began in 2016, over 3,000 patrons have signed up to be designated drivers. Engaging Stakeholders As a proud member of our industry, we work alongside industry counterparts to share with lawmakers on Capitol Hill that we work every day toward the safe and legal consumption of our products. Periodically, the Beer Institute coordinates panels to discuss our initiatives. During the holiday season, a PSA program with the National Association of Broadcasters has invited members of Congress to create responsibility messages for their home districts in an effort to amplify the promotion of safety over the season.
