2023 Wine Tasting Fundraiser

    Thanks to everyone who attended and supported the DOCF Wine Tasting event on April 21 at Deerfield Fine Wines in Newark, DE.  This event raised $2,429 for the DOCF Cancer Research Initiative at the H.F. Graham Cancer Center & Research Institute (HFGCC&RI).

    Those who attended enjoyed the wine tasting and light refreshments, as well as exploring the huge selection of fine wines (and spirits) at Deerfield Fine Wines.
