Naples, FL has some of the most philanthropic residents. However, during a weekend in January Naples plays host to the Naples Winter Wine Festival a fundraiser like none other. Celebrities and some of the worlds wealthiest people spent this weekend bidding on unique auction items to benefit Collier County Charities. The top two auction items in this years event were a Ferrari F 12 Berlinetta that fetched $750,000 and a private concert featuring the band Chicago raised $385,000 for local charities. In 5 hours Saturday night a total of $8.5 million dollars was raised. It is estimated that a total of $115,000,000 has been raised since the Naples Winter Wine Festival originated in 2001.
