Make-A-Wish will be hosting the third annual Help Us Help Kids Craft Beer Sampling and Food Tasting on Friday, Jan. 26, at Louie’s Grille & Liquors, located at 395 Main St. in Port Washington. Gina LoBello is once again working her magic with Louie’s Grille to bring the community together to raise funds for Make-A-Wish.
“This is such a great event,” said LoBello. “We are almost sold out.” Tickets are $65 and must be purchased online at www.helpushelpkids.kintera.org. This is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy great food, great beer and great company, all for a great cause. The event is being run by Manhasset resident Gina LoBello, who successfully launched this fabulous sold-out party last year.
If you are interested in helping, donations of gift baskets or gift certificates from local vendors would be a great way to help support the event. These items can be used as raffle prizes and would be much appreciated. For more information on the event, contact LoBello at 516-662-9929.
