About Us

Celebrating our 10th Anniversary!

HELP US fulfill Antietam Valley Community Partnership’s (AVCP) mission to better our community.

The Antietam Valley Community Partnership (AVCP), a 501(c)(3) organization, will once again host this 700-participant tasting event, which has grown into a regional favorite. CCBWA is now seeking sponsor partners for our community fundraiser for the fall. Revenue for this event will raise funds for community programs to carry on AVCP’s wider mission of improving the quality of life within the Antietam Valley.

To date, CCBWA has raised over $80,000 towards the restoration and renovations in our community’s beloved Carsonia Park. Also, the net profits from the CCBWA and proceeds from other fundraising events provide funds to allow AVCP to create and support various community activities including scholarships for local high school graduates, summer movies at the A-field, holiday food distribution to Antietam School District families, the annual holiday tree lighting ceremony and special donations to other charitable organizations in our community.
