HEAD OF SCHOOL WELCOME Dear Seven Hills Community, Welcome players, one and all, to the Seven Hills auction. This event is sure to be a one-of-a-kind interactive experience of community building, fundraising, memories, and gaming—all to support the students and programs at Seven Hills. Let’s collect a Clue, climb and slide the Chutes and Ladders, and Pass GO—it’s Game Night! As we host our second virtual auction, a mark of the long-lasting realities of the coronavirus pandemic, I can’t help but think about all the ways we have proven that the Seven Hills community is special and resilient, no matter what cards we’re dealt. Throughout these uncertain times, Seven Hills has remained rooted in our work and mission, to develop open-minded learners, kind and confident leaders, and resilient and inclusive adults. Your support of Seven Hills is more important than ever to take on unforeseen challenges and lay a whole child foundation for each and every one of our students. Before we roll the dice, let me take a moment to thank everyone who has helped make this year’s auction possible. A special thank you to our auction committees and teams of volunteers, who have done an extraordinary job of rallying our community to “level up” this favorite annual tradition with a generous spirit. And, of course, we are grateful to you—our parents, faculty, staff, sponsors, donors, and friends—who contribute in so many ways to the auction. This event would not be possible without your generosity! So as you enjoy the online bidding (if The Price is Right) and lively watch party with the Seven Hills community, know that every dollar raised supports our 420 students, our faculty and staff, and our program. As you place your bids, enter the raffles, and virtually raise your paddle, thank you for contributing to your child’s future and the future of the school we all love. Game On!

Kathleen McNamara Head of School

Any arrangements and expenses for delivery are the sole responsibility of the purchaser, unless indicated in the catalog. 3. Each registered guest will receive a bid number. Use of this bid number constitutes a legal contract to buy. The closing bid number written on the silent auction bid sheet and circled by the Auction Committee constitutes the winning bid. Guests may bid in the live auction by raising their bid card with their printed bid number. The top bid recognized by the live auctioneer is a legal contract to purchase the item. 4.

Other members of the group can pay their portion individually for tax purposes, at checkout if their bid number was recorded on the group list. The official bid number, however; is ultimately responsible for payment in full that night, and will be expected to pay for any remaining balance on the item. 9.

Exclusive Private Tour and Tasting for Six with Wine Maker’s Annie Favia and Andy Erickson of Favia Winery and an Autographed 1.5 Magnum This is one exclusive tour you don’t want to pass up! As the only guests of Annie Favia, a noted viticulturist, and her husband and winemaker Andy Erickson, you and your guests are in for an unforgettable afternoon at Favia Winery, in Coombsville, Napa Valley. Over the past decade Annie and Andy have been producing wines under Annie’s maiden name, Favia. Despite receiving lofty ratings in the high 90’s from critics such as Robert Parker, you may not have heard of the Favia label, which is still somewhat under the radar. With only 300 cases or less normally produced for each wine, they’re only available to list members and a few carefully selected high end restaurants. The Estate is located on a historic property first planted by pioneer, Antonio Carbone in 1886 in Napa’s Coombsville appellation. Antonio Carbone and his brothers were the first Italian immigrants to move to Napa Valley. With their newly found 5-acre property, they founded Carbone Winery. The bottom floor of the house was crafted into a wine cellar with thick stone walls with the main farmhouse style living space resting above it. The Erickson’s have refurbished the space while staying true to its origin. The stone walled once winery, now functioning barrel room, is an intimate space with a rustic ambiance. The property is saturated with decades of winemaking history and is a refreshing change from the flashy Napa Valley tasting rooms we’re all familiar with. Enjoy a private tour of the historic winery and gardens while tasting world class wines hand crafted by two of Napa Valley’s power couples. You’ll learn more about how the 10


collaboration between people, vines, and soil makes the wines at Favia so special, and part with a renewed sense of how balance is essential for both great wine and a great life. Take home an autographed 1.5L magnum to remember this once in a lifetime experience. Favia Wines
