This year's California and Nevada Credit Unions for Kids Wine Auction raised $270,000 for local children's hospitals, passing $1 million as the total amount donated since 2006.
On March 25, more than 300 people from over 75 credit unions, organizations and hospitals attended the event at Laguna Cliffs Resort & Spa in Dana Point, Calif.
