Custom Cocktail in the Mix for VIPs at Buy-Rite's Gala "Super Sampling"

Renowned mixologist Brent Lamberti will be on hand Saturday, May 16 for New Jersey's largest gathering of culinarians to create a custom cocktail for VIP patrons of the Buy-Rite "Super Sampling" gala, which benefits two charities helping adults and children fighting cancer.

A reservation-only VIP room will kick off the gala from 6 to 7 p.m. at the Doubletree Inn, just off Exit 105 of the Garden State Parkway, at 700 Hope Road in Eatontown. Mixologist Lamberti will pour his drink for VIPs, who also will be treated to Cristal Champagne, top-shelf artisan wines from California and Europe, and small-batch spirits. A specially selected menu to compliment the exclusive wines and spirits will be offered to the early-access VIPs.

Starting at 7 p.m., doors officially will open to the gala sampling of more than 500 different fine wines, craft beers and specialty spirits. Dine-around stations will feature a varied menu so gala-goers can sample their favorite wines, beers and spirits with a wide range of foods.

Buy-Rite's Super Sampling is a benefit for two local charities, the Sarala Bathena Foundation and the Ashley Lauren Foundation: Hope and Help for Children with Cancer. Proceeds from the Super Sampling will help assist both adults and children in treatment for cancer with their medical bills.

VIP tickets are $129 per person and offer early access, from 6 to 7 p.m., to exclusive products and dinner. Regular admission to the gala, from 7 to 11 p.m., is $79 per person in advance and $99 at the door.

Such a shame. Wonderful home, not only disappointing for the designers and volunteers, but a loss to the fabric of Rumson. Older homes give an area a certain presence and stability. The worst loss is, of course, to the owner. Sad day for all.

WHAT: Salt Creek Grille to hold annual Wine & Martini Tasting to Benefit Kortney Rose Foundation

WHERE: Salt Creek Grille, 4 Bingham Avenue, Rumson, NJ 0776

WHEN: April 16, 2015 7 p.m.
www.thekortneyrosefoundation.org
The Salt Creek Grille’s 12th annual Wine & Martini Tasting will take place on Thursday, April 16, 2015 at 7 p.m. and will benefit the Kortney Rose Foundation. To date over $730,000 has been raised by this event for 11 local charities that serve children’s needs. 100 percent of the proceeds go directly to the charity thanks to the generous support and donations of goods and services made by purveyors and Salt Creek Grille. Several wine vendors, who have supported the event every year, pour premium wines and a spirits vendor serves specialty martinis for the popular event. Salt Creek Grille provides passed hors d’oeuvres, pasta and carving stations and more. Local businesses also get in on the act and have provided artisanal cheeses (Sickles Market, Little Silver) and a raw bar (L***y Lobster, Highlands). The Bobby Boyd Trio entertains the event’s attendees with live jazz music. There will also be a 50/50 raffle

In addition to the event and to create further public awareness, Salt Creek Grille’s co-owner Steve Bidgood flies a flag with the charity’s logo on it from the landmark restaurant’s flagpole at the base of the Oceanic Bridge year round. A presentation of the flag was made to the Kortney Rose Foundation’s executive committee earlier in January. Tickets are $150 per person and sponsorships are available. Visit www.thekortneyrosefoundation.org to purchase tickets or sign up for sponsorships. For information regarding event details and sponsorships please call 732-859-3629.

The Kortney Rose Foundation (KRF) was founded by Kortney’s mother, Kristen Gillette, to honor Kortney’s memory and celebrate her life. Brain tumors are the #1 solid tumor cause of death in children 20 and under with more than 3,500 children diagnosed annually. KRF was incorporated as a 501(c)(3) in 2007 to raise money for pediatric brain cancer research. More than 95% of every dollar donated to KRF goes directly to the life-saving research at The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia, specifically their Large-Scale Genome Project and the new world-class Children’s Brain Tumor Tissue Consortium (CBTTC.org, https://www.facebook.com/CHOPBTP).

“With only four percent of the National Cancer Institute’s research budget allocated to all forms of pediatric cancer research, children with devastating diseases have to rely on private foundations and generous individuals to fund the research that could save their lives," said Kristen Gillette, president and founder of The Kortney Rose Foundation. "We are so fortunate to have been selected as Salt Creek Grille's charity for 2015. This event will raise money at a pivotal phase in pediatric brain tumor research as our benefactor, the Children's Brain Tumor Foundation, kicks into high gear uncovering the genes underlying children's brain cancer and designing specific therapies and treatments."

Gillette said that she is looking to this year’s Salt Creek Grille event to help to reach her goal of $1 million by June 2015, the date in which Kortney would have graduated from Shore Regional High School. The Kortney Rose Foundation has raised $910,000 to date.
