About Naples Children & Education Foundation
The Naples Children & Education Foundation (NCEF), the
founding organization of the Naples Winter Wine Festival, is
improving the educational, emotional and health outcomes of
underprivileged and at risk children. Through its annual grants
and strategic initiatives, NCEF has impacted close to 90 of the
most effective nonprofits in the local community, providing
more than 300,000 children with the services and resources
they need to excel. NCEF's unique approach, which emphasizes
collaboration between organizations and bridges public and
private resources, has become a blueprint for how to transform a
community, one issue at a time.
About Naples Winter Wine Festival
The Naples Winter Wine Festival (NWWF), one of the
world's most prestigious charity wine auctions, offers a weekend of
unforgettable memories. Guests enjoy world class food and wine
during intimate dinners in elegant, private homes and other
landmark settings throughout Naples and are invited to bid on once
in a lifetime travel and wine experiences during
an electrifying live auction. Since its inaugural event in 2001,
the NWWF has raised almost $302 million, making a profound
difference in the lives of hundreds of thousands of children in Collier
County.
