Primary Beneficiary and Volunteer Provider

Hanna Boys Center is one of Northern California’s most successful residential treatment centers. For more than 50 years, Hanna Boys Center has helped change the lives of thousands of at-risk boys of diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds from the greater Bay Area and beyond, through caring, respect, education, and faith. Situated on 160 acres in Sonoma, Hanna Boys Center offers at-risk boys an opportunity to turn their lives around. The Hanna Program helps strengthen the mind, body, and spirit through focused, individualized attention, encouraging each boy to recognize —and realize—his potential. From residential living to education and recreation, all in a beautiful setting, the Hanna experience is truly unique in many ways.

Hanna Boy Center serves as a non-profit beneficiary of the Napa-to-Sonoma Wine Country Half. Hanna provides many of the over 100 volunteers necessary to carry out this event. Aid stations are enthusiastically staffed with Hanna Boys along the course. A percentage from each half marathon entry fee goes to Hanna Boys Center, and other income opportunities are realized from the event. Hanna is an independent nonprofit organization that relies on private donations to fund clinical, residential and educational programs. Find out more about Hanna and how you can help make a difference in the lives of our boys through donations, volunteering or working at Hanna. Visit www.hannacenter.org
