Passion changed to purpose in 2010 after he was diagnosed with prostate cancer at an incurable stage. Dr. Hollander, a <a href=\"http:\/\/news.medinfo.ufl.edu\/articles\/faculty-recognition\/honoring-an-individual-with-a-team-spirit\/\">highly-regarded clinician\/teacher<\/a> at the Gainesville VA Medical Center, affiliated with the University of Florida, then created the Robert and Susan Hollander Foundation to fund prostate cancer research. \u201cAfter that, it just made sense to fund the Foundation with my winemaking.  It gave my wine a dual purpose, not just to make a great wine I was proud of, but a wine that served a special purpose,\u201d Hollander observed.  In the two years the Foundation has been operational, unrestricted grants have been provided to researchers at<a href=\"http:\/\/www.mdanderson.org\/\"> MD Anderson Center<\/a> and the <a href=\"http:\/\/www.lerner.ccf.org\/\">Cleveland Clinic<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p>Dr. Hollander\u2019s <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/2-red-wines-supporting-prostate-cancer-research\">campaign<\/a> goal is $35000 with all proceeds above production costs supporting prostate cancer research through the Foundation.  Contributions to the campaign are processed by FirstGiving and are tax deductible.  Rewards for campaign supporters include wine from the upcoming 2015 vintage or wines from the award-winning library of 2redWinery.   \u201cIt\u2019s a win-win-win-wine,\u201d according to Hollander.<\/p>\n<p>See Campaign: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.indiegogo.com\/projects\/2-red-wines-supporting-prostate-cancer-research\">http:\/\/www.igg.me\/at\/2redwinery.com<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Robert Hollander Winemaker, 2redWinery<br \/>\nPresident, Robert and Susan Hollander Foundation<br \/>\ndoctorbobster@gmail.com<br \/>\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.igg.me\/at\/2redwinery.com\">http:\/\/www.igg.me\/at\/2redwinery.com<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/youtu.be\/zu7Bf5RubpI\">https:\/\/youtu.be\/zu7Bf5RubpI<\/a><br \/>\n<a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/doctorbobster\">https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/doctorbobster<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A guest post by Robet Hollander, Winemaker 2redWinery, makers of the award-winning Ziniphany\u00a9 Zinfandel and #2red is 38% towards goal on Indiegogo with all proceeds supporting prostate cancer research through the Robert and Susan Hollander Foundation, an IRS approved 501c3 organization.
