YUMA, Ariz. (KYMA, KECY) – A night of wine, music, and giving back brought the community together Thursday at City Hall.
Hosted by Yuma & Imperial Valley Wealth Management (YIVWM), the “Come Wine With Us” fundraiser benefited two local causes: The Hansen House and the Yuma County Burn Survivors Foundation.
Guests donated $50 each to attend the event, which featured wine tastings and a relaxed atmosphere with a charitable mission at the heart of it all.
“We typically have a lot of events and invite more nonprofits as much as we can,” said John Durazo with YIVWM. “It’s great to give back in this kind of way. We have a ton of people come and just have a really good time.”
Organizers say the goal is to raise both funds and awareness for burn survivors in Yuma County while supporting the ongoing work of The Hansen House, which offers recovery services for those in need.
The evening was a reminder that doing good can also bring people together for a night they won’t forget.
