16th Annual Wine Tasting

We are excited to share with you that on Friday, November 14, 2025, at 6:30 p.m., we are holding our 16^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:

• Placing deaf individuals in jobs through Vocational-Rehabilitation Employment services;
• Providing mental health and case management services to deaf/hard of hearing individuals;
• Distributing free amplified/captioned phones;
• Assisting over a dozen deaf/hard of hearing households impacted by Florida’s fall 2024 hurricanes;
• Continuing our social programs such as Signing for Santa, Thanksgiving celebration, Bingo, and Signing classes;
• Advocating for the deaf/hard of hearing in our communities; and
• Partnering with Messengers of Hope Mission, a Pasco County mobile food pantry, to provide monthly food distribution at our agency.

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 16^th Annual Wine Tasting and Auction!
