It was a weekend of memories for a lifetime.
The SabesWings two-day annual charity fundraiser was hosted by former professional all-star MLB star Bret Saberhagen and his wife Kandace Saberhagen on September 18 and 19 in Paso Robles, California.
A gala and a golf match collectively raised over $1 million where the incredible and lively auction alone brought in $820,000.
The opening night celebration at the winery of Rava Wines had a sold-out crowd who celebrated and honored the organization that raises money that goes directly to the families and patients dealing with overwhelming medical and living bills. The media sponsor of the event was “The Magazine Lifestyle.”
Jonathan Coachman served as MC of the night that music legend Toby Keith the SabesWings Lifetime Achievement Award.
