Dinner were treated
to four courses of fine
Italian cuisine infused Roger Schagrin and Hayley Jarvi
with rare tartufo bianco

paired with select wines from Italy, Burgundy and the
Sonoma and Willamette valleys. The dinner was sponsored
by Jen and Ed Dudnyk.
Auction Founder and Chairman Ted Mandes welcomed
over 80 guests to the dinner by saying, “We’re here
because of the more than 80,000 children the Kravis Center 2020 SPRING TRAINING
reaches with its arts education programs every year.”
Mandes thanked Café Sapori’s hosts Francesco Blanco
and Fabrizio Giorgi, as well as the auction’s sponsors,
committee members and supporters. “Over the last 27
years, the Kravis Center has reached more than 2.6 million
local students, and the Palm Beach Wine Auction has
raised more than $4 million in proceeds to date toward this
mission. We are committed to the future of the children in
our community.”
Mandes noted exciting updates to this year’s auction,
including the new venue at 1000 NORTH in Jupiter. He
encouraged guests and anyone, regardless of auction
