ORLANDO - The Orlando Magic's signature fundraising event, the Orlando Wine Festival & Auction held on March 19 at the Ritz-Carlton Orlando, Grande Lakes, raised nearly $700,000 for the Orlando Magic Youth Foundation (OMYF), benefiting at-risk children in Central Florida. The fundraising extravaganza that endured a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, included live and e-auctions, as well as an outdoor festival, featuring live music, local and celebrity chefs, wineries, and food pavilions.
“After the break that we unfortunately had that obviously impacted so many people in a negative way, it’s great to get back together and look at the future,” said Orlando Magic Chairman Dan DeVos at the event.
