21st Auction of Washington Wines a Huge Success
The 2008 Auction of Washington Wines dramatically surpassed earlier auctions in revenues, attendance and sheer enthusiasm, raising $2,250,000 for uncompensated care at Seattle Children's and the Washington Wine Education Foundation.
"The energy and excitement at all of the events was palpable. Washington State vintners and growers are some of the best in the world, and their commitment to producing high quality wines is only paralleled by their commitment to giving back to the community. We are very pleased with the results of this year's auction weekend. Our winemakers and growers donated superb items that went for great bids by patrons committed to helping Children's Hospital and the Washington Education Foundation."
