Frequently Asked...

What is Grape Escapes?

For over 20 years, Grape Escapes has been Bost’s signature event.  The cocktail style fundraiser provides guests with the opportunity to sample wines from around the world while enjoying tasty treats from local restaurants and caterers, in a beautifully appointed space where friends are plentiful. Recently we have added a beer garden, cigar bar, and "arty" Afterparty to round out the fun!

What is Bost?

Bost's mission is to create a community of people supporting individuals with disabilities and behavioral health needs to meet their life goals. 

We strive to fulfill our founder's mission of empowering people with intellectual and developmental disabilities and mental health needs to meet their life goals, improve overall health and achieve greater independence.

How does Grape Escapes help?

Grape Escapes was created over 20 years ago to help cover unfunded needs, such as art, acting, and dance programs, sensory rooms, transportation, affordable & accessible housing, and therapies.  These activities are much needed but currently unfunded and truly enrich the lives of individuals with disabilities.
