Thank you for a Wonderful, Sixth Annual Harvest of Hope!

More than 450 people came out to the 2008 Harvest of Hope wine tasting and restaurant sampling on Friday, October 3, at Caesars Atlantic City in the beautiful Palladium Ballroom. Together we raised $102,000 to keep grief support groups free of charge for families in southern New Jersey.
Thank you to everyone who attended, or otherwise supported, the event.
Special thanks to our Diamond Sponsors – Caesars Atlantic City and Accents: ‘The Perfect Accessory.'
We are also grateful to our speaker, 9-year-old Emma (at left with MC David Spatz and Alcove Program Director Tobiellen Care), who told us about how attending Alcove support groups has helped her cope with losing her grandfather, with whom she had a special bond.
Caesars provided the room, servers and fabulous food from its four signature restaurants – Mia, Primavera, KWI Noodle Bar and Nero’s Grill. We couldn’t have asked for a more beautiful event!
In addition to financial support, Accents (which has stores at the Quarter at Tropicana, and at the three Trump casinos, as well as in the Kensington Square on Tilton Road in Northfield) provided gorgeous handbags, luggage and other items for our Silent Auction, which alone raised about $6,700.
We’d also like to thank the other restaurants who participated, sharing special dishes with our guests. They are Knife & Fork Inn of Atlantic City, Doc's Place of Somers Point, Sonsie of The Pier in Atlantic City, Morton's The Steakhouse at Caesars, and Formica Brothers Bakery of Atlantic City and Northfield.
