LYNN, MA – November 23, 2007 – The bidding opened at 6:30 PM on Thursday, November 8, 2007, at the Danversport Yacht Club when 300 guests actively supported All Care Hospice. This year’s 6^th Annual Charity Wine Tasting & Auction generated $75,000, a record-breaking success that surpassed last year by 10%. With over 350 donors and 35 sponsors, the evening boasted high bids and excited winners.

Guests enjoyed a sampling of wines and hors d’oeuvres while perusing over 120 silent auction items in the grand ballroom varying from Boston sports tickets, to get-a-ways, original fine art and priceless memorabilia.

This year’s Live Auction items included an ultra-luxurious trip to Trinity Villa at the Tryall Club in Montego Bay, Jamaica, reaping the highest bid of the night. Another highlight of the evening was the fast and furious bidding that climbed over $1,000 for an autographed baseball by World Series MVP Mike Lowell coupled with Red Sox box seats.
