Currently ranked as the fifth largest charity wine auction in the country by Wine Spectator Magazine, 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 presented its 17 benefitting, local children’s charities with funding to facilitate a variety of critical needs within the community. As charity partners do not know the exact dollar amount being awarded to their organization until it is presented to them, it is an emotional event attended by over 300 guests, all of whom support DCWAF and its benefiting charities throughout the course of the year as sponsors, bidders, board members and trustees. This check presentation brought the total amount donated by DCWAF to local children’s charities to more than $35 million.
2024 Benefiting Charities: AMIKids Emerald Coast, Ascension Sacred Heart Emerald Coast, Boys and Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast, Caring and Sharing of South Walton, Children in Crisis, Children’s Volunteer Health Network, Ellison McCraney Ingram Foundation, Emerald Coast Autism Center, Emerald Coast Children’s Advocacy Center, Habitat for Humanity of Walton County, Mental Health Association of Okaloosa/Walton Counties, Opportunity Place, Inc., Point Washington Medical Clinic, Shelter House, The Arc of the Emerald Coast, Westonwood Ranch and Youth Village.
