Premier fundraising organization, Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation (DCWAF), is pleased to announce it has donated more than $28 million to help children in need in Northwest Florida since its inception in 2005. This year alone, DCWAF donated $3.775 million to 16 children’s charities in Northwest Florida following the highest-grossing auction in Foundation history. Funding was awarded in a private check presentation ceremony at the Henderson Beach Resort on August 31.

The total amount donated by DCWAF includes a surprise, late donation by local philanthropist, Ryan Jumonville. The Jumonville Family’s donation brings DCWAF’s gross auction revenue to a record-breaking $4 million.

“This year’s record-breaking contribution is truly a testament to the philanthropic spirit of the DCWAF community,” said Destin Charity Wine Auction Foundation President Karah Fridley-Young. “After two years of virtual events, the energy in the auction tent last spring was palpable and the amount raised for children in need was humbling.”
