Charity Reveals Winner of Buffett Lunch Auction
July 9, 2009
The Glide Foundation, the beneficiary of an annual auction for lunch with the investor and philanthropist Warren Buffett, yesterday revealed this year’s winner to be Salida Capital, an investment firm in Toronto, the Associated Press reports.
The company won the one-week eBay auction in late June with a $1.68-million bid to share a meal with Mr. Buffett. All proceeds from the auction benefit Glide, which serves poor and homeless people in San Francisco and was a favorite charity of the billionaire investor’s late first wife, Susan.
