arbara and Douglas Tibbetts recently hosted a wine tasting at the Oberod Estate in Wilmington, Del. The tasting was held in honor of their daughter Paige, who died from nonsmoking-related lung cancer in 2016. Proceeds from the event went toward the Paige S.

The fund’s goal is to provide patients with a financial bridge to their recovery. In total, more than 100 guests attended the event on Nov. 10, which raised just over $50,000 for Paige’s legacy. The Tibbetts plan to host this event annually with the hopes of growing support each year.
