“I’d like to thank Mike and the team at Bunker Hill Charities for working with us at the Gavers Community Cancer Foundation on our annual Barndance. The live auction at our event each year is a real spectacle with a generous crowd competing for interesting and unique auction packages. Over the last few years the Bunker Hill Farms outing has been a highlight at our auction since it is an incredibly unique and fun property combined with first class service. Each of the buyers of the Bunker Hill experience package has raved about the guest experience at Bunker Hill: beautiful property, exclusive feel, excellent service and great food – no detail is missed! We are proud to be able to work with such a generous group as Bunker Hill Charities and hope that we’ll be able to continue for many years into the future.”
