There will be food, a silent auction and Johnny Damon wine, which will be offered for sale and the price includes a personalized autograph. Autographed bottles can be purchased online for those who can’t attend.

Admission is $75. Advanced tickets are required and limited. For event tickets, details, and wine orders, visit UncorkforaCause.com. Proceeds from the evening and sale of Johnny’s wine benefit the families of these fallen officers through the Sun Coast Police Benevolent Association.
