In response to the tragic natural events of February 27, Wines of Chile USA and Puro Chile partnered with NESST’s charity organization, “Levantando Chile,” to host a prompt fundraising benefit event at the Puro Chile Showroom in New York City.  The event, which took place on Thursday, March 4 consisted of a cocktail reception and silent auction featuring a number of wine lots coordinated by Wines of Chile USA.  With a suggested minimum admission donation of $100 per person, the event drew over 200 attendees and raised over $28,000 with the silent auction generating over $9,000 by itself.
