KELSEYVILLE, Calif. – The Moore Family Winery will host a fundraiser to benefit the Seagrave family on Thursday, Oct. 2.
The event will begin at 5 p.m. at the winery, located at 11990 Bottle Rock Road in Kelseyville.
Forrest Seagrave, 33, was shot and fatally wounded during an attempted robbery in Kelseyville in January 2013.
The proceeds of the Oct. 2 event will be used to raise funds needed for Seagrave's family to attend the trial of the suspect charged with the murder, Jonathan Antonio Mota of Kelseyville. A story about Mota's federal indictment can be found at http://bit.ly/1mmTku4 .
Mota's prosecution is being handled by the US Attorney's Office. As a result, the trial is scheduled to be held in San Francisco – the second most expensive city in the nation – next year.
The fundraiser will feature wine, the repertoire of David Neft, a barbecue meal featuring grillmasters Sheriff-elect Brian Martin and District 5 Supervisor Rob Brown, and magnificent treasures that you can bid on during the live auction.
Dinner will be served at 6 p.m. with a live auction to begin at 7 p.m.
The cost is $50 per person.
Seating is limited.
Tickets are only available at http://www.moorefamilywinery.com/events/ .
For those who cannot attend the event but would like to donate, an online fundraiser to pay for the family's trip to the trial can be found at http://www.gofundme.com/forrestseagrave .
The online fundraiser, as of early Saturday, had brought in $3,790 of the family's $15,000 goal.
