Naples Children & Education Foundation, founders of the Naples Winter Wine Festival, announced its 11th annual online auction raised more than $850,000. In addition, a special event preceding the online auction raised $80,000, totaling more than $930,000 of additional support for NCEF.
This year’s online auction proceeds bring the total amount raised through the online auction to nearly $5.2 million since its inception in 2015.
The top-grossing online auction lot was The Unparallelled VIP Experience with Cameron Mitchell. The winning bidder paid $41,000 for a Prime Social Reserve VIP Access membership for two years with a dedicated reservations concierge providing access to all Cameron Mitchell restaurants nationwide for the VIP member, spouse, immediate children younger than 26 and the spouses of immediate children younger than 26.
Every dollar spent in the online auction helps fulfill NCEF’s mission to improve the educational, emotional and health outcomes of underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County.
