The charity auction is a part of eBay’s ongoing celebration for
its recently launched eBay Wine category. The online

and ship collectible, rare and everyday wines to 45 states across
the United States.
Chef Voltaggio’s “Wine & Dine” experience will

dedicated to ending child hunger in America by ensuring they get
the healthy food they need every day. The auction will run from
Thursday, May 26 at 8 am PT and close on Thursday, June 2 at 8 am
PT. To bid, visit www.eBay.com/Dine.
The once-in-a-lifetime eBay for Charity auction includes:
- Working closely with Chef Voltaggio to
create and name a sandwich that will be added to the menu for one
month at both locations of Sack Sandwiches in Los Angeles.
- One dollar from every sandwich sold
will be donated by Sack Sandwiches to Share Our Strength’s No Kid
Hungry campaign.
- Dinner for four at Voltaggio’s renowned
restaurant ink. in Los Angeles.
- Personalized and autographed cookbook
for the winner.
- Two three-day VIP tickets to the 2017
BottleRock Napa Valley music, food, wine and brew festival in
historic downtown Napa, California.
“I’m thrilled to be raising money for Share Our Strength’s No
Kid Hungry campaign through eBay for Charity’s 'Wine & Dine'
auction,” said Michael Voltaggio. “I’m looking forward to
collaborating with the winning bidder on a limited edition sandwich
which will be sold at Sack Sandwiches. eBay is a perfect partner
and platform to raise awareness and help end childhood hunger in
America.”
“Since the launch of eBay Wine, we’ve continued to see interest
in our inventory and the unique eBay for Charity auctions that help
our shoppers connect to the causes – and celebrities – they care
about,” said Dan Tarman, SVP, Chief Communications Officer at eBay.
“With Chef Voltaggio, we’re excited to not only toast and celebrate
eBay Wine, but help him connect with his fan base through a unique
eBay for Charity auction.”
To celebrate the launch of eBay Wine, eBay and Voltaggio will
host a VIP Happy Hour at BottleRock Napa Valley – the famed
three-day music, food, wine and brew festival in Napa Valley,
California – on May 27. Chef Voltaggio will be cooking a few
dishes that will be paired with a premium or limited-edition wine
found on eBay, including wine from Blackbird Vineyards, Chappellet,
Cliff Lede Vineyards, Stags Leap District, Etude Wines, Hall Wines,
and Schramsberg Vineyards.
This auction follows eBay for Charity’s successful ‘Wine &
Dine” charity auctions with famed chefs Marcus Samuelsson and
Richard Blais that raised funds for Save the Children and Citymeals
on Wheels.
