ABC Fine Wine & Spirits Summer Fundraising Campaign

This summer, ABC Fine Wine & Spirits is embarking on a significant mission, inviting its patrons to join efforts in achieving a remarkable fundraising goal that has taken years to build. The annual initiative, supporting the National Pediatric Cancer Foundation (NPCF), seeks to raise over $3 million for pediatric cancer research. This is an ongoing commitment, reflecting a partnership that dates back to 2011.

From June 28 through August 31, 2026, patrons shopping at ABC Fine Wine & Spirits are encouraged to round up their purchase at the checkout counter. This simple act can make a notable difference in advancing children's healthcare—a gesture that enables every coin to go towards research dedicated to developing safer and more effective cancer treatments for children. For those feeling particularly generous, additional donation options will be available at the register, allowing for contributions beyond rounding off purchases.

Notably, this year's campaign marks a significant expansion. For the very first time, customers shopping at Applejack by ABC locations in Colorado can also participate, extending the reach and impact of this vital cause beyond Florida.

Over the past 15 years, the dedication of ABC’s guests and team members has culminated in raising over $2.6 million for pediatric cancer research. In the previous year alone, the campaign was able to generate an impressive $326,000, providing hope and support to families grappling with pediatric cancer nationwide.

Charles Bailes III, Chairman and CEO of ABC Fine Wine & Spirits, expressed heartfelt gratitude towards their customers: "Year after year, our guests continue to show what an incredible difference a community can make. This milestone belongs to our guests and our team members. Their generosity continues to change lives."

The National Pediatric Cancer Foundation stands as one of the leading children’s health charities, collaborating with over 41 prominent hospitals and research institutions across the nation to hasten the development of improved treatment options for young patients facing cancer. The foundation ensures that nearly 89 cents of every dollar raised goes directly into supporting critical research initiatives aimed at lessening the adverse side effects of existing treatments, thus enhancing patient outcomes.

For those wishing to contribute to this noble cause remotely, online donations can also be made directly through ABC’s website at https://abcfws.com/nationalpcf.
