Our Mission Statement

Connect • Belong • Sponsor Success • Community Matters

A Note from Bob Day

Since its founding in 2018, the Diversity Wine Club's Mission Statement has never actually mentioned the word "wine." Honestly, we could be the Diversity Water Club, and the mission would remain the same.

To us, wine is simply the catalyst - a way to bring strangers into a room so they can leave as best friends. Whether you are a wine connoisseur or a non-drinker, you are welcome here. The focus is entirely on human connection, built upon our four core pillars.

Connect

First and foremost, we are a social club. DWC is a vibrant community where friendships are forged and genuine connections are fostered. We believe that meeting new people should feel natural and welcoming.

Belong

We thrive when everyone feels they have a seat at the table. DWC is a space where you can be your authentic self, find your tribe, and feel a true sense of home within our community. It is about more than just attending an EVENT; it is about knowing you belong.

Sponsor Success

Sponsor Success is the economic engine that keeps us moving. We provide local businesses a direct way to thrive by engaging with our 14,387 Local Opt-In Members of the LGBTQ+ Community. When a SPONSOR steps up, they build real brand loyalty and help ensure our community always has a warm and welcoming space to gather. We believe their success is our strength.

Community Matters

Learn: Each EVENT features a local LGBTQ+ community leader who speaks for 15 minutes about an issue important to our community. We believe learning is how we grow stronger together.

Give Back: Each EVENT benefits a specific CHARITY; we support 5 local LGBTQ+ charities throughout the year. There is NO FUNDRAISING at the EVENT itself - your ticket is your donation. We want you to focus on the connection, knowing the good work is already done.
