Doffo Winery to Host 2nd Annual Kurt Caselli Foundation Fundraising Event

Doffo Winery is set to host the 2nd Annual MotoDoffo Event to Benefit the Kurt Caselli Foundation on Saturday, May 30, 2015. Doffo, KTM, FMF Racing and SCORE International have all partnered with the Kurt Caselli Foundation to help raise money towards improving the safety of off-road motorcyclists and racers.

The 2nd Annual Benefit will feature a wide range of attractions and entertainment for attendees, while paying tribute to one of the most beloved and well-respected men in the motorcycle community. Guests will be treated to more than 150 rare, vintage and contemporary bikes from the MotoDoffo Vintage Motorcycle Collection as well as from vendors and guests, including Roland Sands Design’s Kurt Caselli Tribute KTM tracker build.

Guests can enjoy the Doffo grounds, where a vendor row, live music, and special movie screenings will provide the entertainment. Food and beverages will be available for purchase, and items donated by vendors will be raffled off and up for auction. Doffo Winery has also created a Kurt Caselli tribute wine, which will be available for purchase. Proceeds from the event will be donated to the Kurt Caselli Foundation.

Tickets to the event will be $10 (all ticket sales will be donated to the Foundation). Tickets can be pre-purchased online and can also be purchased at the gate on the day of the event.

“Last year’s inaugural event was great, but we’re even more excited about this year,” said Damian Doffo, Production Director and Assistant Winemaker at Doffo Winery. “We’ve received overwhelming support from the motorcycle industry as well as from local Southern California businesses. It’s humbling to bring people together to honor Kurt Caselli and raise funds for the Foundation.”

The Kurt Caselli Foundation was established in 2013. The focus of the foundation is the safety of riders and racers in the off-road motorcycling industry. For more information, visit www.kurtcaselli.com.
