The brachytherapy procedure, which uses more targeted internal radiation instead of external radiation, is highly effective, on multiple cancer types, produces fewer side effects and offers faster recovery times than other treatments.
From the first five years of this event, the Gonzmart Family Foundation has donated $460,000 to Moffitt. It’s one of several charitable activities created by Richard Gonzmart, fourth-generation “caretaker” of the Columbia Restaurant Group.
The course is out and back on the Riverwalk, starting and ending at the Ulele restaurant at 1810 N. Highland Ave, near downtown Tampa. Designated parking is nearby.

Join us at the Columbia Ybor City for a 5-course wine dinner as the New World meets the Old World with six exquisite California and Spanish wines from Trinchero Family Estates. Thursday, Aug. 8, 2019 | 7 p.m. | $125 per person For reservations, call 813-248-4961 or email [email protected] With Carlo Trinchero, 3rd Generation, Heritage Wine Collection - Trinchero Family Estates and Richard Gonzmart, 4th Generation, Columbia Restaurant Group. Featured Wines:
The Trinchero family is one of Napa Valley’s pioneering winemaking families. They were founded in 1948 when a young Italian immigrant, Mario Trinchero, left New York City and headed west to Napa Valley, hoping to build a better life for his wife Mary and their three children, Bob, Roger and Vera. Like the Columbia, Trinchero is still owned and operated today by founding family members – the 3rd generation for Trinchero, and the 4th and 5th generations for the Columbia. The family owns more than 200+ acres spanning pedigree appellations across Napa Valley: Calistoga, St. Helena, Mt. Veeder and Atlas Peak. Small–lot luxury wines from sustainably farmed, estate vineyards in Napa Valley’s most coveted appellations ensures incredible consistency vintage to vintage. Estate sourcing allows Trinchero to cultivate terroir–driven wines that tell the story of their vineyard origin. Their wines communicate their family story and pay tribute to three generations of growing and winemaking expertise. From humble beginnings with their purchase of an abandoned Prohibition-era winery in St. Helena in 1948, refurbishing it and initially scraping by as a mom-and-pop operation, to today, Trinchero Family Estates have become a worldwide leader in the wine industry. Trinchero is proud of their partnerships with other family-owned wineries all over the world. Like the Columbia, they share a commitment to quality and excellence. |
