Tickets are $75 and all funds raised will go to A Kid’s Place in Brandon, a shelter for children who have been removed from their homes due to abuse, abandonment or neglect.

The Trey Curry Foundation was founded in 2008 in memory of Trey Curry, the son of longtime residents Terry and Clif Curry.

"Trey was always available to lend a helping hand, a listening ear, or just be a friend," said Terry Curry. "It was never important to him where you lived or what your family did for a living. He wanted to befriend you if he felt you were a good person. Our family wants to carry on his tradition of helping those in need within our community through the works of the Trey Curry Foundation."

In 2012 a house at A Kid's Place was named and dedicated in honor of Trey Curry. The foundation also has donated funds to the Brandon Family YMCA, the Sylvia Thomas Center for adoptive families and the Brandon Emergency Care Help Organization.

In addition to the annual Vine to Wine event, the foundation hosts an annual fundraiser fishing tournament.

Tickets to Vine to Wine are available by visiting www.treycurryfoundation.com or by calling 813-655-0269.
