Triphammer Wines & Spirits will be hosting the 7th annual “An Evening to Remember” event to benefit the Alzheimer's Association of Central New York on Wednesday, December 4th, 2013 at 6:00pm. The gala will be held in the Grand Ballroom of the Trip Hotel Ithaca (formerly the Clarion Hotel), located at One Sheraton Drive, Ithaca NY. 100% of ticket and auction proceeds from this event will go directly to the Alzheimer's Association of CNY.
This year's event will once again offer guests extensive food and wine tastings from local restaurants and wineries, as well as a beer garden with a variety of craft beers. There will also be a silent auction, and live music by local talent.
This event was founded by Julie Crowley (owner of Triphammer Wines and Spirits and Ithaca Coffee Company) in 2006, when her mother Patricia Crowley was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease. Julie has said that her mother, who passed away in June of 2012, would be, "so proud of the support in our community for this worthy cause. I am grateful to the local organizations who have become involved with our Gala-as sponsors and volunteers.”
In 2012 the Gala broke its fundraising record by far, raising over $48,000. Of those proceeds, $40,000 was sent to the Alzheimer’s Association of Central New York, and $8,100 was sent to Tompkins County Sheriff’s Department to implement Project Lifesaver in our community.
So many of us are directly affected by this disease, either through a family member or friend, the gala committee hopes you find value in this event and continue to be a part of this very worthwhile cause. Community support of this event is essential. Tickets will be available for purchase at www.triphammerwines.com/gala, or in person at Triphammer Wines & Spirits or Ithaca Coffee Company locations.
