The Stanford Home for Children in Sacramento places at-risk children in foster care. Their charity auction is the main fundraiser in support of their operation. The fundraising event was immensely successful with everyone in attendance having a good time. One of the featured items in the charity auction was a “vertical” (1992 - 1997) half case of Silver Oak Cabernet Sauvignon, which sold for $3,000. Eric Sternad, Executive Director, said, “Our inaugural charity auction expectations of Tom DiNardo were not only met, but exceeded by one hundred percent.”
