EVENT STORY

Cars & Cigars Smoke Detroit was founded in 2014 by Tom Celani and Dario Bergamo. Benefiting the Celani Family Foundation, this event brings together cars, Rocky Patel cigars, Celani Family Vineyards wines, and a live auction for a festive night of fundraising.

The proceeds from the event directly benefit underprivileged families and children through local Detroit charities, Forgotten Harvest and Capuchin Soup Kitchen.
