PRESS RELEASE DATE: MARCH 12, 2010

MORE INFO

Fun, friendship and philanthropy are on tap Tuesday, March 23 at Taste Casual Dining in Hobe Sound, as the restaurant hosts the Second Annual Celebrity Bartenders event to benefit House of Hope.

Admission is free for the event, which is scheduled for 5 p.m. to 8 p.m. March 23 at Taste, 11750 SE Dixie Hwy. – next door to the House of Hope branch in Hobe Sound.

The public is invited to stop by and support the illustrious community leaders who will pour beer & wine to earn "Tips for Hope."  The evening also will feature raffles, an auction and a few surprises.

A special guest will be Jupiter Island Police Chief Ted Gonzales, who will patrol the party, ready to lock up dastardly do-gooders and rebellious benefactors – all in the spirit of fund-raising and fun.

The tentative lineup of celebrity bartenders includes:

• Cindy Atkinson of Scooters.

• Jennifer Ferrari of Hobe Sound Chamber of Commerce.

• Harry MacArthur of Harry & the Natives.

• Dan Mackin, world-renowned artist from Hobe Sound.

• Allola McGraw, Hobe Sound's "own" fun philanthropist extraordinaire.

• J.C. Snead, professional golfer and Hobe Sound resident.

All tips and donations received during the event will go directly to House of Hope. The restaurant’s owners, Karen & Craig Kingston, also will donate a portion of the proceeds from beverage and food sales.

The fund-raiser will help House of Hope provide food, clothing, financial assistance and life-changing case management services to Martin County residents in need – including families with children, senior citizens and people going through sudden life crises.
