Port Allegany Wine Walk founders and organizers George and Susan Riley attended the monthly meeting of the Port Allegany Women’s Club to present checks to the club for their Small Town Christmas Project and to the Port Allegany Historical Society. Now in its 7th year, the Wine Walk has raised over $40,000 for local groups.  Past donations include $4000 to the Star Hose Fire Company #1 in year one of the Wine Walk; they collected $2,200  for the  Port Allegany Recreation Authority/Community Pool – even though there was no walk that year due to COVID; $6000 in year three to PAAS; $6,500 in year four to the S. W. Smith Library; $7,750 was given to Youth Sports in year five and the largest donation to date was given in 2024 to the Port Center/50 Plus Club in the amount of $8000.  Donations to the PAWC and Historical Society totaled $7600.
