The VIMY Awards & WineLover's Auction is held each year at the renowned Thunderbird Country Club in Rancho Mirage, California, a location synonymous with the Desert lifestyle. In addition to the lavish surroundings, guests of this much-anticipated event are treated to delectable appetizers and an exquisite pre-auction meal courtesy of the Thunderbird's inspired culinary team.

The net proceeds from this event benefit Coachella Valley Volunteers in Medicine. We provide a local solution to a national problem. We offer medical and dental services at no cost to adults in the Coachella Valley who have no insurance. As a community safety net, our clinic treats the whole person by addressing chronic diseases (like high blood pressure, diabetes, arthritis), acute conditions (colds, flu), preventive medicine, diet, and emotional health. CVVIM is a member of Volunteers in Medicine, a national nonprofit alliance with more than 90 free clinics across the U.S., whose mission is to provide healthcare services in a compassionate, caring way to our neighbors in need.
