Treat Williams To Buzz Robert Redfords House For The Women's Ski Jumpers
The US Women's Ski Jumpers who are embroiled in a legal battle to get into the Olympics in Vancouver had a very successful fundraiser at the Huntsman Estate. The dinner and auction raised over $40,000 for the girls expenses. The Huntsman Estate which is in Deer Valley is on the market for a cool $55 million sits on 63 acres.
Over 200 people attended the event which was supported by local businesses. Virginia Madsen donated autographed bottles of wine from "Sideways" that went for many $1000's. Lindsey Van's skis that she used to win the World Cup brought in over $11,000 and the highlight of the night was something very cool.
Local resident Treat Williams grabbed the mic and auctioned off a dinner and then a flight in his private plane. "We will gave a great dinner and then buzz Robert Redfords house," said the famous actor. That of course also brought in a bunch of money. No word on Robert Redfords response.
