5th Annual Wine Event in Partnership With Sweet Cheeks Winery
June 13th, 2025 at Eugene Country Club. An evening spent celebrating our 6th wine label in partnership with Sweet Cheeks Winery. Sweet Cheeks has been an amazing host for the past few years and we are so thankful for their continued partnership. Together we have raised over $110,000. These funds remain in Oregon to support Motiv8’s local initiatives.
Our 5th annual wine event featured our new label inspired by Hawaiian clothing designer, Manuheali’i and their Lauhala collection. This design was also used on our Slow Tide picnic blankets included in guest gift bags. Attendees were greeted by a photo with Marcus and The Oregon Duck. They were then served their first wine tasting in their take home Motiv8 glassware to sip on as they walked into the gathering room featuring our Motiv8 store and silent auction. Key items this year were our customized L.A.B. Oregon Putter, signed Super Bowl Eagles Jersey, and Commanders QB room helmet. Also featured was fellow Pro Duck gear from Sabrina Ionescu, Justin Herbert, Bo Nix, and Dillon Gabriel. Go Ducks!
Entertainment included our live music artist Kaleo Van Titcomb and traditional Samoan dancers from Eugene group, Talavou Tatou.
Our upcoming initiatives in Oregon include a bed build out with Sleep In Heavenly Peace and the Oregon Football team, Shoes That Fit donation, and Oregon Football game day experience this Fall. Donation allocation for these events were advertised through out the event so that donors and guests are deeper integrated through our outreach.
On behalf of Marcus and Motiv8, we want to sincerely thank everyone for their attendance and support of Motiv8. It is because of your generosity that these things are possible. Thank you for trusting us to inspire others and be a resource in the community.
Fa’amanuia le atua!
