Record amount raised for abused and neglected youth
Oct 12th turned out to be one of San Diego's hottest days of the year and the energy at the 8th Annual Wine D'Vine benefitting Walden Family Services continued to sizzle as attendees helped make this a record-breaking year. At the elegant Elizabeth Ballroom at The Grand Del Mar, a new attendance high of 420 guests were treated to sumptuous appetizers, award-winning wines and crafted beers from eight restaurants, seven wineries and one brewery. While sampling the fare, attendees had a chance to bid on a record total of 70 silent auction items and four live auction items. Guests also had a chance to learn about Walden's programs that serve abused and neglected youth through the presentation of a slide show that described the positive outcomes made possible through philanthropic support. Attendees rose to the challenge of supporting Walden's youth by raising a record amount in event history: a net total of $327,208!
