Fundraiser Event: Friends of Sisson Family, May 8 @ Bedell Cellars

On Friday, May 8, Bedell Cellars and the Friends of the Sisson Family, will host a fundraiser from 6-9 p.m.

From the event website:

The Sisson Family Fund has been set up in our friend Ben Sisson's memory to help financially support his wife Alice Wise and their children Ethan and Emma during these difficult times. Our primary goal is to enable Alice, Ethan and Emma to remain in their family home as the children mature and to allow the family to maintain a continuing quality of life within their community of family and friends. Our enduring friendship and love of Alice, Ben, Ethan and Emma will help Alice raise her beautiful children. Providing supplemental financial support is greatly needed over the next few years. We encourage all friends and family to attend our annual fundraiser in Ben Sisson's honor and to continue to tithe whenever possible. The joy Ben Sisson gave all of us in life, we can give back now, in love.

This event will be a celebration of Ben Sisson's life. It will be an opportunity to share your favorite stories with friends and colleagues. Wine and appetizers will be served at the beautiful Bedell Cellars tasting room, and a Silent Auction will be held with a variety of items donated for the cause.

Nena, Jackson and I will be going and I'd encourage every person who reads this blog to attend. There will probably be some amazing auction lots that any Long Island wine lover would want to bid on.

You can buy tickets (or donate if you can't attend) on the event website.

Thanks for posting this Lenn. We hope to have a significant turnout for this. We're also going to have a bunch of silent auction items - in particular some hard to find, older vintages of local wines.
