  • Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation Check Presentation

    We had another successful year with Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation, and we are thrilled to receive an amazing donation of $240,000! We are so grateful to everyone who made this possible-- our board members, volunteers, sponsors, DCWAF and FFT staff, Jack and Candis Wilson, and all of our supporters over the years. These funds will be a huge help to start this year off as we add another 7 schools and 1,000 students since this time last year to our food and backpack program.
