You can still participate in the auction!
We are ao incredibly grateful to the guests, Corporate Heroes, donors and volunteers who made the live online Santa Monica Wine Auction such a success!
In these challenging times, it warmed our hearts to see our community rally around our Santa Monica students. Even though we could not physically be together, your support for students was so inspiring.
The event was a celebration of our fabulous students and schools. You can see some highlights of the event in this short thank you recap video.
If you missed the event but would still like to help fund arts, STEM and other crucial programs for students, you can give at smedfoundation.org/donate.
We'll see you next year - hopefully, in person! Cheers!
