Scott Winton Insurance is the major sponsor for the Quill Club’s Annual Charity Luncheons. This year the Quill Club members raised $40,000 for charity Syndromes Without A Name.
One of the highlights of the day was the fundraising auction. An item up for auction was a basketball signed by Michael Jordan. Avi Tatarka, CEO of Scott Winton kept the bidding running and was the successful bidder at $3,400! Mr Tatarka gifted the prize back to SWAN.
