We’re thrilled to announce that our Wine, Bourbon & Beer Fundraiser raised nearly $30,000 in support of incredible local nonprofits like Dorcas Ministries, The Carying Place, Performance Edge, Big Brothers Big Sisters, the YMCA, and many others making a difference in our community. This success wouldn’t have been possible without our generous sponsors—far too many to name individually, but each one played a critical role in making this event a reality. Your support means the world to us and to those we serve. Special thanks to The Matthews House for hosting us in their beautiful venue and to Southern Harvest for providing the delicious food that made the evening even more memorable. We’re also incredibly grateful to our event team—especially Rotarians Kathy, Wendy, Betsy, and all the other volunteers—whose energy and dedication made everything run smoothly. 📸 Be sure to check out our photo gallery below and relive the fun! Tag yourself and your friends if you see familiar faces—we loved seeing our community come together! See you again in 2026!
