CANCER KILLS MORE CHILDREN THAN ANY OTHER DISEASE

UNTIL THERE IS A SOLUTION FOR EVERY CHILD DIAGNOSED WITH CANCER,

CURE WILL BE THERE

Tom Glavine Goes To Bat for CURE Childhood Cancer with Cabernet Glavignon

Don’t be surprised if you hear Atlanta Braves Pitcher Tom Glavine singing, “Buy me some peanuts and Cabernet” at Turner Field. Charity Wines launched Cabernet Glavignon, a charity wine whose proceeds benefit CURE Childhood Cancer.

The two-time Cy Young Award winning pitcher won’t make a dime from the sale of the Napa Valley wine that sells for $13.99 a bottle and bears Glavine’s name and image. Proceeds from wine sales support CURE Childhood Cancer and the Major League Baseball Players Trust Foundation.

“Chris and I know several families who’ve had children diagnosed with cancer and it’s a devastating experience for the entire family,” says Glavine. “CURE donates more money to pediatric cancer research than other children’s cancer organization in the Southeast which is a blessing considering less than two percent of federally funded cancer research goes directly to curing childhood cancer. Glavine adds, “That’s astounding when the #1 cause of childhood death by disease in our country today is childhood cancer.

Cabernet Glavingon will be available at Kroger, Wal-Mart and other wine outlets and restaurants in Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina and can be purchased at www.charitywines.com. The wines are debuting from Longball Cellars, the philanthropic division of Charity Wines, a Massachusetts company founded by Andrew Graff and John Corcoran.

Commenting on the launch of the limited edition wines, Owner and President of Charity Wines, Andrew Graff, said, “We are thrilled to be working with first class individuals like Tom who encompasses what it means to be a professional both on and off the field. Braves fans are among the best in all of baseball and we are elated to give them this unique opportunity to collect and enjoy the wine while also knowing that they are helping to make a difference.”

According to Atlanta Journal & Constitution columnist Gil Kulers, a wine critic, he gives Longball Cellars Cabernet Glavignon a big thumb’s up.

“Like a slider in the dirt, it has an earthy quality with blackberry flavors that curve over the back corner of the palate.”

Cabernet Glavingnon is now available at select retail outlets throughout the southeast. Every Kroger in the metro Atlanta area is carrying the wine. Stay tuned for a more detailed list of locations where you can buy the wine.
