Montezuma Winery raises over $7k for Ovarian Cancer Awareness
Seneca Falls, NY - Montezuma Winery is honored to award a donation of $7,741 to Hope for Heather, a CNY not-for-profit organization that raises money for ovarian cancer awareness, education and local support.
We partnered with Hope for Heather to create Hope Dry Rosé, a dry, crisp wine with aromas of strawberry, melon and nectarine that was inspired by Heather Weeks. The “Hope Dry Rosé” wine campaign sponsored by Montezuma Winery represents “Hope in a Bottle” for women of Upstate New York.
Two dollars of every bottle sold will help finance important new research and awareness programs. With the generous donations of wine bottles from Waterloo Container and labels, that feature Heather on them, from Syracuse label, as well as other fundraising efforts we were able to exceed our goal of $7,000.
"Our work with Hope for Heather started as a way to give back to the community. It has turned into so much more than that for us now.” said Bill Martin, co-owner of Montezuma Winery & Hidden Marsh Distillery. “After losing a member of our family to cancer our passion to help to cure this disease has intensified. We have had countless people come into our tasting room that have shared stories of sadness, victory and most notably Hope. It is our honor to work with Hope for Heather."
