the TLDR: by backing this campaign with your tax-deductible gift, you receive award winning wines while supporting prostate cancer research.  

I Am Here Because...

A long-time winelover, I (Winemaker Bob) started making award-winning small volume wines in 2007 as a hobby.  Diagnosed with prostate cancer at an incurable stage in 2009, the comfort of my world was shattered.  Determined to make the best of the situation, I created the Hollander Foundation, an IRS-approved 501c3 non-profit supporting prostate cancer research.  

Then, I directed 100% of the proceeds from my wine-making efforts at  2redWinery into supporting prostate cancer research. Thanks to your tax-deductible support, I will continue to produce great wines while supporting prostate cancer research.

This is as much as it looks

The Campaign:

This Indiegogo campaign has two parts: 

1. Award-winning red wines for you in exchange for your tax-deductible support;
2. All proceeds pass to the Foundation and prostate cancer research.

The Perks:

Support the campaign by clicking the PICK YOUR PERK button at top or from the items on the right.  Available to you are the wines we drink and love at home.   You can back the campaign even if you do not drink wine through the PICK YOUR PERK button.

Why Does This Matter?

• About 3.3 million men in America are living with prostate cancer.
• About 35000 men in America will die this year from prostate cancer.
• About 1 in 7 men will develop prostate cancer over their lifetime.
• The odds are that you already know someone who has been affected by prostate cancer
• This campaign allows me to continue doing something I love that is important to me while helping someone you may know.

Me in Napa, blending the recently bottled 2022 #2red. 

 
The finished blend was amazing and I expect it to be one my best vintages of the #2red. As soon as I get my hands on the bottled wine, I will make it available.

Risk to Backers - as the percs are already in the warehouse ready to ship, risks are minimal.  Percs will be shipped upon confirmation of your support to the campaign, in plenty of time for Thanksgiving and the December holiday season.

Risks to Me - Without funding, I do not make a barrel of wine.  Regardless, the Foundation still gives its annual gift in accordance with our IRS-approved 501c3 bylaws.
