'08 Harvest Adds Restaurant Sampling to Wine Tasting
The Alcove’s Harvest Of Hope
Set For Oct. 3 At Caesars Atlantic City
“Harvest Of Hope,” a gala wine tasting, menu sampling and charity auction, will be presented Oct. 3, 2008, at Caesars Atlantic City in support of the programs of The Alcove Center For Grieving Children and Their Families.
“During the past five years, we’ve grown this event into one of the most anticipated and well-attended fundraisers of autumn,” says Mindy Shemtov, executive director of the Alcove. “This year, we’re taking it to the next level and expanding it to include menu tastings from some of the area’s finest restaurants.”
The sixth annual event runs from 6:30 to 9:30 p.m. in Caesars’ Palladium Ballroom. Admission is $75 per person.
Presenting sponsors of “Harvest of Hope” include Caesars Atlantic City and Accents – The Perfect Accessory, in Northfield.
Guests will sample a selection of more than 200 wines from around the world and taste signature dishes from eight restaurants, including Mia, Nero’s Grill, Primavera, KWI Noodle Bar and Restaurant and Morton’s The Steakhouse, all located at Caesars Atlantic City, plus Sonsie Steak, Seafood and Chophouse on The Pier at Caesars, the Knife and Fork Inn in Atlantic City and The Doc’s Place in Somers Point.
The event will also feature a silent auction of a variety of valuable merchandise and a live auction that includes a one-of-a-kind Laura Gibson necklace worth nearly $5,000 and donated by Bernie Robbins Fine Jewelers.
“As more people have learned about The Alcove, its mission and its programs, more people have embraced it, ” Shemtov, a co-founder of The Alcove, explains.
“We’ve generated great support within the community, and Harvest of Hope has become our signature event,” she adds.
Based in Northfield, N.J., The Alcove is a non-profit 501c(3) charity that helps children and families through the grieving process following the death of a loved one.
The Alcove provides its services at no cost to families throughout southern New Jersey. It relies primarily on small grants, private donations and several annual community events to raise the funds needed to maintain a caring, compassionate and nurturing environment for grieving families.
“Our clients are divided into age groups, from very young children to adults, and they meet several times a month to share their feelings and talk about their losses with their peers,” Shemtov says. Specially trained volunteers facilitate the sessions.
