Philanthropy
At Kerr Cellars, we live our lives with purpose. Cristie is a prominent breast cancer activist, philanthropist, and spokesperson. In 2006, she received the prestigious Komen Award in honor of her personal contribution and commitment to the fight against breast cancer. We also encourage each other and our staff to support causes they care about too. We believe in the responsibility to support our community, in both small and large ways. That’s why we participate in a number of philanthropic events each year and sustain our own charitable initiatives. Together we can make the world a better place!

Curvature Wines
Cristie’s vision for Curvature Wines developed from a strong desire to support other women and a deep love of wine. She started her own wine venture to help raise funds for breast cancer research. Curvature delivers high quality, small-lot productions of Napa Cabernet and Sonoma Chardonnay, expertly crafted by Pride winemaker Sally Johnson.

Birdies For Breast Cancer
Cristie founded Birdies for Breast Cancer in 2003, a not-for-profit organization raising money and awareness to fight the disease. Cristie donates $50 for every birdie and $100 for every eagle she makes while on tour – and encourages her sponsors to match the donations. Fans and supporters are also able to pledge through birdiesforbreastcancer.com. In 2004 Cristie started her annual Birdies for Breast Cancer Celebrity Golf Classic tournament.
