The Gardens Mall 'Seals the Deal' with Celebrity Bartending Event at Brio to Benefit Easter Seals
PALM BEACH GARDENS, FLORIDA (May 21, 2009) – Celebrity bartenders will dazzle the crowd as they mix drinks and mingle with guests at the Seal the Deal Celebrity Bartending Event at Brio Tuscan Grille at The Gardens Mall on June 9. From 5:30-7:30 PM, attendees at this free event can sip cocktails made by Virginia Lang of WILD 95.5 FM and sample signature Brio hors d’oeuvres as funds are raised for the children with special needs and disabilities at Easter Seals.
“Easter Seals’ and The Gardens Mall’s own celebrities will bring together a great group of supporters in an effort to raise funds for the children we serve,” said Michelle Gonzalez, Director of Special Events of Easter Seals Palm Beach, Martin and St. Lucie Regions. “We are excited to hold the event at The Gardens Mall and are so thankful for all of their support.”
Sharing the bar with Lang will be Easter Seals committee members Chip Kah of K-Rain Manufacturing and Roger Janssen of Dailey Janssen Architects, and Michele Jacobs, Director of Marketing and Operations for The Gardens Mall and Vice-Chair for the Easter Seals. Guests will have a chance to win great raffle prizes courtesy of The Gardens Mall. Also featured at the event will be the Seal the Deal savings booklets from The Gardens Mall, which will be sold for $20 with all proceeds to benefit Easter Seals. The booklet will include dozens of coupons from The Gardens Mall and other local retailers and restaurants.
Tips and proceeds from the raffle and coupon sales will benefit preschool-aged children at Easter Seals Igoe-Amar Child Development Center in West Palm Beach. This is Palm Beach County’s only full-time educational/ therapeutic pre-school program for children ages birth to five who live with challenges such as Down Syndrome, cerebral palsy, genetic and seizure disorders, hearing and speech or language dysfunctions and developmental delays. The Center prepares children for success in school through early intervention services combined with pediatric speech, physical, occupational and behavioral therapies. The goal is to help all children gain independence and learn to walk, talk, and learn self-help skills in preparation for school.
“We are thrilled to host this fun event and welcome all of our shoppers to join us for the excitement,” said Michele Jacobs. “I’m also looking forward to participating to help raise money for this worthwhile cause in our community.
