Last year the event raised $38K for local sports By Marty Cheek Because local residents enjoy an evening of fine wine and quality cuisine every year at a gala at the Morgan Hill Community and Cultural Center, Morgan Hill student athletes can enjoy playing school sports. The South Valley Wine Auction is the premier food and wine event in the South Valley which raises tens of thousands of dollars to supplement the athletics programs at Live Oak and Sobrato high schools as well as Britton and Martin Murphy middle schools. The gala is a fun way for the community to support the education of kids through athletics, said Dave Roman, the president of the Live Oak Athletic Boosters Club which receives funding from the event. Last year, the auction raised $38,000. Parents and students from both high school boosters clubs volunteer their time in making the event happen. “Essentially, the South Valley Wine Auction is the biggest fundraising event that we get to participate in each year,” he said.
