So what happens at the swanky affairs held throughout Lee and Collier counties the night before the big auction? Wine (lots of it), revelry (dancing often not optional) and a lavish spread (from foie gras to crystal candelabras).
Celebrating its 10th anniversary, Lee County’s largest annual fundraiser was a weekend of epic vintner dinners and a blockbuster auction that brought in $2.9 million for local children.
