Cigar Familiy Charitable Auction

In 2001, the Fuente and Newman families and their Cigar Family members established CFCF.  The foundation has created a 23-acre project, which is home to primary and high schools that educate 490 students, a medical and dental clinic, a community center, sports and recreation facilities, and an organic farm and fishery.  Because the Fuente and Newman families underwrite all of CFCF’s administrative costs, 100% of all donations directly help those in need.
