(WMUK) Mitzi Perdue, journalist and speaker is welcoming eight auction winners into her Salisbury, Maryland home on November 8 for what may be one of the world’s most expensive small charity dinners. The event, “Cuisine for a Cause: Clearing Mines in Ukraine,” was auctioned for more than $220,000.
“The auction was one of the biggest surprises of my life,” Perdue said. “I was offering a chicken dinner for eight, and hoping to raise $1000 for mine-clearance. Instead, as I watched in jaw-dropping amazement, the bidding went to close to a quarter of a million dollars. What do you serve when people pay that much for a dinner?”
