Don’t miss your chance to win a one-of-a-kind artistic treasure

We are honored to dedicate the 2025 Art & Wine Festival to the memory of Donna Carol Box—a beloved sister, artist, runner, and creative force whose warmth and compassion touched so many. Donna’s sister, Denise, and Denise’s wife, Leslie, are generously sponsoring the event in her honor and raffling a print of one of Donna’s original watercolor paintings as a tribute to her life and her love of all things handmade and heartfelt.

“This is the old fire truck that used to sit at the entrance of Beck’s,” Denise shared. “It’s a special memory of the town—and a perfect way to celebrate her life and art.”

The painting print will be raffled to support AAMDS, the Aplastic Anemia and MDS International Foundation, an organization that supports individuals and families affected by rare bone marrow failure diseases. Donna battled aplastic anemia with incredible strength and spirit, and this raffle is a meaningful way to raise both awareness and support in her name.

Their chosen tribute line says it all:

“Her Art, Her Heart, Her Legacy. Forever cherished, missed beyond measure.”
