Micanopy, FL – The Sebastian Ferrero Foundation was thrilled by the success of their annual Noche de Gala fundraising event on Friday, October 26th at the 642-acre farm of Besilu Collection. The sold-out event of over 1,000 guests was an evening packed with live entertainment, silent auctions featuring unique and extraordinary items, exquisite dining and much more! With a theme of “Oasis”, the sixth annual Noche de Gala raised over over $1 million for the expansion of the UF Health Shands Children’s Hospital.
Winspire was happy to partner with the Sebastian Ferrero Foundation to provide 11 exclusive travel packages for use in their auction. Packages included such Experiences as “Cult Winemakers VIP Access” and “Romantic Escape to Paris & Prague”.
“The Noche de Gala auction has featured Winspire trips for the last five years and they have brought much excitement to the auction,” says Event Coordinator Lesley Cox, “Every year, guests are looking for what is new this year and what kind of adventure they can take while donating to a cause they support. We have many repeat Winspire trip purchases, as our guests enjoy the ease and quality of the trips.”
