A Night of Wine, Friendship & Hope: Celebrating Sips for Hope 2026 🍷💜
What a wonderful evening of friendship, generosity and community!
On Wednesday, October 21, Lending Hearts welcomed guests to Holy Cross Greek Orthodox Hall for our 2026 Sips for Hope wine tasting, presented by UPMC Hillman Cancer Center.
It was an evening filled with delicious wines, wonderful food, meaningful conversations and, most importantly, people coming together to support children, adolescents and young adults living with cancer and the families beside them.
Throughout the evening, guests had the opportunity to reconnect with familiar faces, make new friends and celebrate the power of a community united by a shared purpose.
More Than an Evening Together
While Sips for Hope is an opportunity to enjoy a special evening with friends, its purpose extends far beyond the event itself.
The generosity of our guests and supporters helps Lending Hearts continue providing meaningful programs, experiences and opportunities for connection for children, young adults and families navigating cancer.
Whether through educational and emotional support, shared experiences or simply the opportunity to spend time with others who understand, Lending Hearts strives to create a community where no one feels alone through cancer and beyond.
Every ticket purchased, every glass raised and every act of generosity helps make those moments possible.
With Heartfelt Gratitude
We extend our sincere appreciation to our presenting sponsor, UPMC Hillman Cancer Center, for its continued commitment to the Lending Hearts mission.
We are also grateful to Lauren Coulter of Howard Hanna and Red Shoe Events for their generous support of this year's event.
To our guests, volunteers, event partners and everyone who contributed their time, talents and resources, thank you for helping make Sips for Hope 2026 such a memorable evening.
Your kindness and generosity are at the heart of everything we do.
