thank you for joining us in 2023 as we helped families facing the challenges of childhood cancer!

Bills were bashed, sangria was splashed, and desserts were dashed for at MAYF’s Wine Splash 2023 . The Wine Splash is the Metro Area Youth Foundation’s biggest fundraisers. All proceeds from fundraising events go back to the families of Nebraska and Western Iowa who have a child diagnosed with cancer.

Dessert is a privilege to those who win at the Dessert Dash. These desserts were almost too pretty to eat.

There are some lucky people going to watch the Huskers and some other lucky people hanging out in the Ozarks. More importantly, there will be lots of financial support available for families facing the challenges of childhood cancer.

thank you sponsors and donors

We value our sponsors that made this event a success. Thank you!

did you miss the splash? don’t worry you can still support.
