Trustees

The Southwest Florida Wine & Food Fest wouldn’t be possible without the support of our generous trustees. From hosting dinners to securing wines from their favorite vintners to donating exclusive auction lots, we simply couldn’t do it without them. And why do they do it? To support The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida…and to have a little fun, of course! Individuals or couples can become trustees of the SWFL Wine & Food Fest. Trustee donations cover the event’s operating expenses, so all proceeds are donated to The Children’s Hospital of Southwest Florida.
