Pampering and Philanthropy…The Perfect Combination provided by The Village Shops, Supporting Naples Children & Education Foundation and the Naples Winter Wine Festival!
Ask any Naples resident what makes the area desirable for everyday living and a number of topics will come to mind – white sandy beaches, top notch dining, one-of-a-kind shopping, and of course the most admirable, philanthropy. Naples is not only naturally exquisite, but also offers an influential community that is extremely philanthropic. With hundreds of local charities in Collier County, there are many opportunities to give back, from donating to sponsorship packages to volunteering and so much more.
The Village Shops on Venetian Bay strongly believes in the importance of community outreach programs and partnerships to give back to those in need. The Village as a whole contributes tens of thousands of dollars to local charities each year one of which is through a silent auction package for the Naples Winter Wine Festival, directly benefitting the Naples Children & Education Foundation. The Village Shops annual silent auction contribution has helped raise thousands of dollars each year directly impacting the $212 million that Naples Winter Wine Festival has raised since its 2001 inception. You heard that right… $212 million!
For the year 2020, The Village Shops brought to the table a whole new vision for the silent auction package with pampering and relaxation in mind. The 2020 package was titled “The Ultimate 7 Night Cruise & Spa Package” with a total value of more than $24,000. This year’s lucky winner snagged the deal of the year, bidding on and winning the package for $9,000 to further support NCEF and their mission to improvethe physical, emotional, and educational lives of underprivileged and at-risk children in Collier County.
Now that we have struck your curiosity on what is included in a $24,000+ auction package, here is the run down. The lucky winner is ready to gather her girlfriends for a full blown pampering party – both spa services and European travel. The adventure begins close to home at The Village Shops on Venetian Bay, where the group will take advantage of a wide range of beauty-enhancing treatments:
Four golden tickets to Robert of Philadelphia, entitling the four ladies to a complete hair makeover—from highlights, color, conditioning treatment, a relaxing shampoo, haircut and blowout; head, neck and shoulder massage are also included.
Four gift certificates to Elegant Style Salon, a full-service skin care salon offering high-tech, anti-aging facials, microdermabrasion, chemical peels, permanent makeup, therapeutic massages, body wraps and several other skincare services as well as manicure and pedicure packages.
Four gift certificates and four skin care gift baskets from Time 4 U Med Spa, with available services including Botox Cosmetic, disport, dermal fillers, kybella, sculptra, silhouette instalift threads, EMSCULPT body contouring, laser skin rejuvenation, laser hair removal, laser vein removal and much more!
That’s not it! The next step for this lucky group is to pack bags and embark on a 7-day European river cruise on AmaWaterways compliments of Expedia CruiseShipCenters. They’ll float down the center of the Continent, enjoying complimentary shore excursions and wine or beer with lunch and dinner. A family-owned company offering outstanding accommodations and personal service, AMA was voted the “Best River Cruise Line” in 2018 by Virtuoso.
