YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio - More than 400 people tipped their glasses for a good cause Thursday night.

Donors sampled a variety of wines, microbrews, food and entertainment at Stambaugh Auditorium.

The proceeds go to the Ursuline Sisters of Youngstown HIV/AIDS Ministry and the Prince of Peace Center in Farrell.

The Youngstown Area Grocers Association and Shenango Valley Chamber of Commerce were sponsors.

"Just want to thank everyone for supporting our local grocers and for supporting this event because we're trying to take care of our local communities," said Youngstown Grocers Association President Larry D'Onofrio.

D'Onofrio said the goal was to raise $10,000 for each organization.
