Funds raised by the Triangle Wine Experience support the Frankie Lemmon School and Developmental Center, a non-profit preschool for children with special education needs. This tuition-free developmental center serves children ages 3-6 who have developmental delays, language impairments, learning disabilities, or mental retardation. Without the funds raised from Triangle Wine Experience, the school could not exist.
