Tax-deductible crowd funded wine-making at 2redWinery supports prostate cancer research while backers receive award-winning wines.
GAINESVILLE, Fla., Nov. 4, 2024 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- In , makers of the award-winning Zinpiphany© Zinfandel and #2red, is currently crowd funding its next vintage on Indiegogo with all proceeds supporting prostate cancer research through the non-profit , an IRS approved 501c3 organization. Campaign supporters, in exchange for their tax-deductible support, can secure wine from the award-winning wine library of 2redWinery.
Dr. Robert Hollander, the winemaker and principle of 2redWinery, started small-volume wine making in 2007 in pursuit of a long-standing passion in wine. After he was diagnosed with prostate cancer at an incurable stage in 2010, Dr. Hollander, at the Gainesville VA Medical Center, affiliated with the University of Florida, created his Foundation to fund prostate cancer research, using the proceeds from his wine-making to fund the Foundation.
"Realizing that things can always be worse, three of the ugliest words pairs in the English language have got to include 'metastatic cancer,' 'palliative therapy,' and 'my oncologist'," Hollander observed. "Channeling the wine making into something purposeful just seemed to make sense." In the eight years the non-profit Foundation has been operational, unrestricted grants have been provided to researchers at eight different university medical enters engaged with cutting edge prostate cancer research.
Dr. Hollander's campaign goal is $15,000 with all proceeds above production costs supporting prostate cancer research through his non-profit . Contributions to the campaign are processed by FirstGiving and are tax deductible. Rewards for campaign supporters include wine from the award-winning library of 2redWinery and are ready for immediate delivery before the Thanksgiving and December holidays.
