Successful People Helping People Fundraiser

On Sunday, Feb 27th, Cafe Escadrille hosted a wine tasting fundraiser to benefit People Helping People and the Burlington Food Pantry. We raised $13,000, thanks to the generosity of Bob Murray, owner of Café Escadrille, who donated the venue, food, and wine, local business owners, who donated items for the auction, and the attendees of the event, who gave generously. There was plenty to good food to eat and a great assortment of wines for tasting. The live auction during the event was fun and raised $8,000, with each item donated being sold for full value. It was an event that exceeded our fundraising expectations and I hope to see even more folks attending next year.
