SJM Resorts Ltd, the Macau gaming operations unit of Hong Kong-listed casino firm SJM Holdings Ltd, has revived its white truffle charity auction, with proceeds from the event held at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort going to two local fundraising campaigns. The beneficiaries are the Charity Fund from the Readers of Macao Daily News, in support of the 43rd Walk for a Million, and the Macau Tung Sin Tong Charitable Society’s 2026 annual fundraising campaign, the casino firm said in a press release. SJM did not disclose the total raised for the two Macau beneficiaries. The Macau auction, held at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort’s Don Alfonso 1890 restaurant, featured six lots and was conducted by Christie’s. The lots included three whole Alba white truffles weighing approximately 250 grams, 300 grams and 350 grams respectively, as well as magnums of Barolo and Barbaresco wines from Italy’s Piedmont region. For the first time, SJM linked its Macau event live to the World Alba White Truffle Auction in Grinzane Cavour, in Piedmont. The link allowed guests in Macau to bid for an 850-gram white truffle in the Italian auction. A Hong Kong buyer secured the lot for EUR100,000 (US$111,881).
