Legally Blonde & Heroes Prizes in Woodbridge Holiday Auction

Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi has joined America's Second Harvest - The Nation's Food Bank Network - in the fight against hunger by creating a cause-related promotion called Give Hope that will benefit the organization and its more than 200 member food banks.

Give Hope's goal is to combat hunger in America by raising money and awareness through a series of initiatives that kick off this month and continue through the end of the year.  A few of these initiatives include a $50,000 donation from Woodbridge by Robert Mondavi, on- and off-premise promotions, and the opportunity for consumers to find out how to make donations directly to America's Second Harvest at www.Woodbridgewines.com

In addition, Woodbridge has organized a charity auction of star-studded and other experiential prize packages.  The auction will take place on eBay from November 29-December 9, 2007, at www.ebay.com/woodbridge.  One-hundred percent of the proceeds generated through the auction will benefit America's Second Harvest and its member food banks.   A few of the exciting items on which consumers can bid include:
