Virtual Lehigh Valley Wine Gala & Auction – Silent Auction Link is Open!

October 17, 2020, 6:00 pm

We are taking our annual event online this year – a Virtual Vineyard Visit and Auction event – in celebration of wine, community, and gratitude for our past sponsors and supporters.

This year will feature a unique online experience with five winemakers discussing their very best wines, an online auction full of premier wines and liquors, a wine pull (back by popular demand!), and a few special speakers.

Sponsors will receive a delivery of featured wine to pair with the event, with sponsorship benefits ranging from access to the virtual evening and auction, to Tasting Box food delivery, to in-home catered affairs for our top donors.

To our long-time sponsors and Auction event attendees: On behalf of the children you have supported, we thank you for your past generosity. If you are able, we hope that we can count on you again this year, at a time when our children and our missions need it the most.
