This Saturday, November 9, from 4 to 6 p.m., South Fork Bakery presents the third annual “Cocktails With a Cause,” an event hosted by Sag Harbor’s Tutto il Giorno.
“Cocktails With a Cause” is SFB’s biggest fundraiser of the year, and once again it will feature hors d’oeuvres by Tutto il Giorno and a silent auction with close to 50 items, including artwork, international destinations, exclusive culinary experiences, baskets full of diverse items from East End villages, a priceless book collection signed by the author, and much more.
South Fork Bakery is a not-for-profit that provides meaningful paid employment to disabled adults in its bakery kitchen located in Amagansett. The mission extends to the training and placement of adults with disabilities with employer partners in businesses throughout Suffolk County.
“The support from this event is vital to our ability to expand Launch, our new training and employment program,” SFB founder and program director Shirley Ruch added. “We will be able to increase the number of employees placed with employer partners in local community jobs next year.”
Tickets start at $250. For more information, visit southforkbakery.org.
