Immortalize your beloved four-legged family member with an exclusive, original oil portrait generously donated by William Carl Groh III. This timeless, museum-quality piece reflects the classical intensity inherent in his body of work. Groh, a Louisiana native, received his formal training in New York, studied abroad across Europe, and spent three decades under the tutelage of Aaron Shikler who famously painted the official White House portraits of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy. Groh’s oeuvre has been described by preeminent art critics as “timeless.” Although Groh works in all media, he is best known for his oil medium. His masterpieces hang in many public and private collections stretching from the east to west coasts, including the permanent collections of the Smithsonian Institution’s National Portrait Gallery, Georgetown University Art Collection, University of California, Los Angeles, Princeton University, Fordham University’s William D. Walsh Family Library, and Columbia University’s Avery Architectural and Fine Arts Library. He maintains an active studio out of his historic home, the eponymously named Gröheim, where he has created masterpieces for the last 27 years. He paints landscapes of ancient live oak trees reminiscent of his Southern childhood and travels the world, visiting museums. Your pet will be painted by the artist in the classical style, their visage captured in time to last the ages. The lucky winner of this package will be invited to the artist’s home and studio for a light luncheon to consult on the initial composition of the portrait and go on a studio tour. Details: Original oil portrait Minimum size: 10” x 10” Maximum size: 12” x 12” Luncheon and studio tour of artist’s historic home, Gröheim Luncheon and portrait progression is subject to the artist’s commission schedule Donor: Carl Groh III |

LIVE AUCTION 7 WINNER’S CHOICE The lucky winner of this package receives the opportunity to choose their favorite destination from an incredible list of Exclusive Resorts’ destinations. BUCKET LIST DESTINATIONS Are the hilltop towns of Tuscany on your travel wishlist? What about the white-sand beaches of Turks and Caicos? Are the links in Scottsdale calling your name? What about the magnetism of the world’s finest cities, like New York, Paris, and London? Or do you prefer the Garden Island of Kauai? Well, you don’t have to choose tonight, but winning this package means you get to choose your own destination, from Europe to the Caribbean to renowned domestic destinations - you’re sure to find something to cross off your bucket list! Guests will experience 6-7 days for 4-12 people, depending on the destination you choose, subject to availability. Tuscany, Italy - A Mecca of Art, Cuisine, and Wine The rolling hills of Tuscany beg for indulgence and adventure. Work up an appetite with a bike ride or hike through the unforgettable countryside. Enjoy private wine and culinary tours (think sipping chianti at the famous Vignamaggio, where the subject for Leonardo da Vinci's "Mona Lisa" grew up) or touring ancient stone cathedrals and medieval towns like San Gimignano. Florence is only an hour away, making a day trip essential to the perfect itinerary. Turks and Caicos - An Island for Serenity Seekers The lure of the Turks and Caicos Islands may be its famous white-sand beaches and turquoise waters, yet this area’s local culture and unique cuisine is equally worth visiting for. Take a trip to the beaches on Provo's north shore. Spend a day at the remote North Caicos, where the legendary Barracuda Beach Bar hugs the white sands of Whitby Beach. Active travelers can make time for stand-up paddleboard excursions or yoga classes, while scuba divers and snorkelers can explore the region's one-of-a-kind dive sites. Scottsdale, AZ - Golfer’s Paradise The Sonoran Desert provides a picturesque backdrop for activities ranging from hiking to hot air ballooning. Scottsdale is a golf mecca, with more than 200 courses to choose from. Spend your day teeing off or stroll through the charming old town and visit its many art galleries. The Sonoran Desert is awe-inspiring, especially when seen on a horseback tour winding steady desert streams and majestic canyons. Kauai, HI - Garden Isle Opulence Deep emerald jungles and jagged cliffs cut by cascading waterfalls cover the island. Travelers have frequented Kaua'i for years in search of an idyllic outdoor vacation; such a thing can be found in the gentle waves of its innumerable beaches, in the green crags of the Kalalau Valley, and in the depths of Wailea Canyon, known as the Grand Canyon of the Pacific. Deer Valley, UT - Peak Luxury Each townhome at Ironwood lives like a single-family residence, featuring four bedrooms with en suite bathrooms. Offering prime access to Deer Valley’s natural playground, these residences are ideal during any season. Après-ski or golf, sip sunset cocktails from your private hot tub prior to heading into town for fine dining, casual family fare, or ski town nightlife. Emerald Coast, FL - Upscale Yet Laid-Back Beach Living Crystal-clear gulf waters, world-class beaches, bounteous shopping and dining options, and bikeable communities make this luxurious yet laid-back Florida destination one for the bucket list. The area is replete with natural beauty, including four state parks, 27 miles of greenways, and 11 rare coastal dune lakes fit for exploration. Sea Island, GA - Classic Southern Hospitality A visit to this small island feels like traveling back in time. Rated as a top family vacation resort by Travel + Leisure magazine, Sea Island is the perfect place for those looking for activities from horseback riding on the beach to swimming, kayaking, and stand-up paddleboarding. Both kids and adults will enjoy the multiple pools, and the beach and spa are perfect for someone wanting to relax. Whistler, BC - Pacific Northwest Paradise With 8,171 acres of varied terrain, awesome cat and heli-skiing, and the world record-breaking 4.4 kilometer Peak 2 Peak gondola, this destination offers more than its share of wonders. For something different, soar high above the forest floor between massive, ancient pines on a zip line adventure, visit an active bear den and watch mother and cub play on an ecology tour. The road to Whistler, called the "Sea to Sky Highway," hugs the oceanfront and winds through canyons, offering breathtaking views. It is considered one of the most beautiful driving routes in North America. Peninsula Papagayo, Costa Rica - Pura Vida With 23 miles of jagged coastline and 1,000-plus animal and bird species, Peninsula Papagayo is one of Exclusive Resort's most popular destinations—ideal for thrill-seekers who want to zip line through treetops amid monkeys or surf world-class waves. This is also the perfect place for lazy days on the beach. The Club’s two- and three-story residences all boast breathtaking views of the surrounding rainforest. Real Del Mar, Mexico - Where the Jungle Meets the Sea Hugged by the Sierra Madre Mountains and the expansive Banderas Bay—a breeding ground for humpback whales—Riviera Nayarit is not only embraced by a strikingly beautiful jungle, but by a soulful community that welcomes those in search of sun, sand, and surf. A 45-minute drive from bustling Puerto Vallarta, Real del Mar is a gated community adjacent to the small town of La Cruz de Huanacaxtle.

The lucky winner of this package receives the opportunity to choose between two incredible works of art. PICK YOUR DENNIS PAUL WILLIAMS MASTERPIECE Dennis Paul Williams, exhibiting artist, musician, and published author, grew up in St. Martinville, Louisiana, where his Creole cultural heritage infused in him French and West African aesthetics and values. Driven as a child to draw, paint, and explore artistic materials, Williams embraced his Creole heritage, in which every aspect of life revolves around faith, celebration, and beauty. His art is highly sought-after and can be found in collections throughout the world. “The emotional range of each composition is the personal sequencing of voices within the soul, a call to prayer and self-devotion. My mother and her prayer life have influenced my life and my very personal approach to art. These works are representative of nature improvisations with a rhythmic approach to lines, spaces, and shapes. This visual language is my personal hieroglyphics,” said Dennis Paul Williams. The winner of this package will choose their favorite piece of exquisite original art to take home with them tonight!
