ABC Fine Wine & Spirits (ABC), Florida's largest family-owned and operated wine and spirits retailer, is once again partnering with National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF) and Constellation Brands to raise vital funds for childhood cancer research. ABC guests can donate at store registers or contribute by purchasing select wines from July 31 to Oct. 1, 2022. The campaign is part of National Childhood Cancer Awareness Month in September.
"ABC and our team members throughout the state are proud to support charities that champion children and families," said CEO Charles Bailes III. "NPCF is a life-changing organization with an incredible reputation that works to ensure that every child can live a long, happy life, and the research they fund allows for extraordinary work."
NPCF is a top-rated nonprofit organization dedicated to research and clinical trials to find less toxic, more effective treatments for childhood cancer. The foundation was created when two mothers met through their daughters' cancer diagnoses and decided to pursue measurable change in the field of pediatric oncology.
"We are grateful for the ongoing support from ABC Fine Wine & Spirits. The Bailes family, with their exceptional Florida workforce and customer base, has embraced raising funds for the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation's research mission," NPCF CEO David Frazer said. "As a result, over $1.3 million has been provided for critical science – specifically right here in Florida at the University of Florida, Johns Hopkins All Children's Hospital, Moffitt Cancer Center and more."
Guests can donate at checkout or by purchasing products from participating Constellation Wine brands like Robert Mondavi Private Selection, Ruffino, SIMI, Kim Crawford, Meiomi, Cooper & Thief, Unshackled and Saldo. A portion of each sale of those bottles will go to NPCF.
