The recent Cigar Family Charitable Foundation Online Charity Auction in celebration of "8-5-8" day exceeded expectations by raising over $75,000. Fellow cigar makers, including Jorge Padron and Litto Gomez, joined the Fuente and Newman families in donating unique and rare cigar items.
Thanks to the generosity of cigar enthusiasts around the world and a $35,000 matching grant from the Sandy River Charitable Foundation, the funds raised will help impoverished children and their families in the Dominican Republic.
