When Cobden Wini Wines was formed, there was always the hope that at some point we could help to give back to the community. Starting in 2017, we began our donation program. Every year we choose a charity, often a small local animal program, and a portion of all profits from the previous year are donated to that charity. After the passing of our beloved dog Paddy in 2023, we decided to rename it the PaddyFund.
For 2024, we donated to several animal rescues and organizations. Pack Lyfe Rescue is a small animal rescue in Northern California that helps special needs or urgent care animals. Our own Butter was rescued by Pack Lyfe. California Pitbull Rescue is another small dog rescue located in Northern California. They specialize in helping find homes for pittie breed dogs. Dogs that are often unfairly euthanized at shelters. Our special little girl Joy was rescued by California pitbull rescue. Lastly, we gave to Live Like Roo. They are ani animal organization that provide support and financial assistance to families whose pet faces a cancer diagnosis. Having lost our pup Paddy suddenly to cancer in 2023, we thought it fitting to donate to them as well.
