FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

New Van for The Children's Center Thanks to 
Destin Charity Wine Auction

Fort Walton Beach, Florida, January 11, 2016 -


The Children's Center, a division of The Arc of the Emerald Coast, recently received a new van to use for transporting children to and from local schools and other programs.  The ability to purchase this van was made possible thanks to the Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation 2015 Donation.  The continued support to The Children's Center has made it a valuable resource providing an inclusive environment to children with and without development delays to learn, play and grow together. 

Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation connects wine enthusiasts to raise money to benefit children in need in Northwest Florida.  Founded in 2005, Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation (DCWAF) has donated more than $10 Million to Northwest Florida charities through hosting world class wine and culinary events. These funds have impacted the lives of over 60,000 youth, including those afflicted by health issues and abuse. DCWAF is recognized as one of the nation's 'Top 10 Charity Wine Auction in the U.S.' by Wine Spectator Magazine, ranked No. 4 in 2014, No. 6 in 2013, and No. 10 in 2012.
