Description

Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation’s mission is to connect wine enthusiasts to benefit children in need in Northwest Florida. Following another successful year of fundraising, the Foundation is excited to present its 16 benefitting, local children’s charities with funding to facilitate a variety of critical needs within the community. Charity partners do not know the exact dollar amount being awarded to their organization until it is presented to them on stage on September 18. The emotional event is attended by over 300 guests, all of whom support DCWAF and its benefitting charities throughout the course of the year as sponsors, bidders, board members, and trustees. This check presentation will bring the total amount donated by DCWAF to local children’s charities to more than $38 million and mark 20 years of impact in Northwest Florida.
