Annual ‘Wine for Hope’ Raises Funds for Mahoning Valley Children

CANFIELD, Ohio (WKBN) – A fundraiser was held Friday night in Canfield for local children and their families.

The 11th Annual Wine for Hope fundraiser and wine tasting entertained a sold-out crowd at Waypoint 4180.

Our very own sports reporter, Josh Freketic, was the master of ceremonies.

Each year, the organization recognizes community leaders who have made a meaningful impact in their communities.

“Recipients are people doing non-profit activities, people working as business owners, and people doing something in our community. It really makes a difference to be able to see it being done,” said Tony Spano of the Hope Foundation in Mahoning Valley.

Brenda Ryder received this year’s Lifetime Achievement Award.
