FOCUS Wines give back to Children’s Hospitals at Escape the Cape Triathlon

FOCUS Wines give back to Children’s Hospitals at Escape the Cape Triathlon 

Event Date: June 14, 2015

Only a few races begin with jumping off a boat to start your triathlon... now, imagine doing it legally blind. Joe Caruso, owner of Big C & FOCUS Wines, is very familiar with this feeling. The avid tri-athlete, business owner, and father was born with congenital cataracts as were his two daughters, Parker and Shea. Every day, they still struggle to maintain their vision.  These young girls, along with many other children with vision-threatening medical issues, have been helped by several premiere Children’s Hospitals and Ophthalmology Centers in the Philadelphia area including CHOP, Scheie Eye Institute, and University of Penn.  These doctors and their teams have provided numerous procedures, therapies, and support that have allowed so many to live a life with sight. The Caruso family owns a wine import and wholesale company based in Cape May, NJ and is launching their first private label, FOCUS, at the upcoming triathlon, Escape the Cape by Delmo Sports, at the Cape May Ferry Terminal on June 14th. FOCUS Wines are hand-picked from the central coast of California and were created to be a major contributor to funds at Children’s Hospitals. A portion of the proceeds from every FOCUS Wine goes back to give children from around the world their chance to experience life the way all kids should: with health, joy, and hope. The first varietal “Parker” Pinot Noir will be poured by the glass at the terminal and throughout the event. Natalie Caruso, Joe’s wife and mother to Parker and Shea, is also the FOCUS brand ambassador and will be on-site to answer any questions. This will be Joe Caruso third year racing Escape the Cape. Joe has completed two full Ironman races at Lake Placid and over 40 triathlons. Come meet this incredible family, taste some excellent wine, and give back to a special cause.
