There were 61 auction lots of one-of-a-kind treasu

There were 61 auction lots of one-of-a-kind treasures and experiences at the 2020 Naples Winter Wine Festival. We were grateful beyond words for the biggest auction lot of the night towards “Fund the Future.” A call to action auction lot supporting NCEF’s seven strategic initiatives focusing on the wellbeing of the whole child. NCEF’s 20th anniversary represented two decades of breakthroughs for kids whose lives have dramatically improved through your generosity. THANK YOU! We can’t wait to be Twogether next year! The #NWWF will once again highlight the finest wine, food and auction lots at The Ritz-Carlton Golf Resort, Naples. “Rise Up - Twenty Twenty Twogether!”

Emotional, cognitive, social and physical developm

Emotional, cognitive, social and physical development are interrelated and influence each other, which is why all NCEF initiatives - early learning, health care, hunger, mental health, oral health, out of school time and vision are so necessary to provide at-risk children with the opportunities to thrive. #ItsALLforthekids
