17th Annual Wine Tasting

We are excited to share with you that on Friday, November 6, 2026, at 6:30 p.m., we are holding our 17^th Annual Wine Tasting and Auction, benefitting Deaf and Hard of Hearing Services of Florida, Inc. (“DHHSFL”) (a 501(c)3 charitable organization). We would love for you to join us for a fun evening of raffles, auctions, games, light hors d’oeuvres, and a cash bar. Our mission is to provide the highest quality services and programs to promote empowerment, equal access, education, independence, and integrity to local Deaf, Hard of Hearing, and speech-impaired individuals.

Despite receiving no county funding, DHHSFL now serves Pasco, Pinellas, Hernando, and Hillsborough counties; we are one of six remaining Florida deaf service centers of what was once twenty-one. This past year, we were able to touch over six hundred lives through our various programs, including:

• • Vocational-Rehabilitation Employment placement services;
  • Mental health support;
  • Case Management;
  • Free amplified/captioned phone distribution;
  • Community events such as Signing for Santa, Thanksgiving celebration, Bingo, and Basic Sign Language classes;
  • Food distribution in partnership with Messengers of Hope Mission; 
  • Advocacy; and
  • Community Awareness Education

DHHSFL provides services at no cost to the deaf/hard of hearing community. Your support in helping us empower our deaf/hard of hearing community by sponsoring this year’s event with your tax-deductible donation would be appreciated. For your convenience, please find enclosed a Sponsorship Application; please complete and return it as soon as possible to ensure full recognition, or apply for sponsorship. 

Thank you, and we can’t wait to see you at our 17^th Annual Wine Tasting and Auction
