DCWAF Event Postponed Until August - 2020
Due to the COVID-19 situation, the DCWAF has postponed the event until August, 2020. Please see below for their statement, and visit www.dcwaf.org for additional updates:
Destin Charity Wine Auction is rescheduled for August 21st & 22nd, 2020.
It is not an overstatement to say the funds raised from our efforts are critical to the 16 charitable organizations we support. Every decision we make is filtered through the lens of what is in their best interest. It is with that mission in mind that we determined our best course of action is to reschedule our 2020 auction weekend. In addition to the belief that the auction will likely be more successful later in the year, we think it would be irresponsible to ask hundreds of people from all over the world to gather in close proximity during a worldwide pandemic.
We recognize that there are many new priorities in the lives of all of our supporters as a result of covid-19. Your participation in our auction weekend is more critical than ever and we hope you are able to join us this August to raise our glasses and our paddles high to help the children of Northwest Florida.
