RED BANK – Navesink Business Group has announced its Waves of Support fundraising gala, “A Taste of Broadway on the Promenade,” will take place on Monday, Sept. 22, at the historic Molly Pitcher Inn.
The event will begin with cocktails at 6 p.m. and will include a silent auction, entertainment and a five-course dinner featuring selections from some stars of Monmouth County’s culinary landscape.
Headlining the evening’s entertainment will be a performance by The Broadway Dolls, an award-winning New York City concert experience. The roster features a number of dynamic women hailing directly from the Broadway casts of such shows as “Mamma Mia,” “Rock of Ages” and “Jersey Boys.”
Dinner will include hors d’oeuvres and several courses prepared by some of Monmouth County’s top dining spots. Among the featured restaurants are Ama Ristorante, Danny’s Steak House, David Burke Fromagerie, Soul Kitchen, Teak, The Bistro, The Cheese Cave and Zoe, plus the executive chefs from The Molly Pitcher Inn and The Oyster Point Hotel.
“A Taste of Broadway on the Promenade will be the grand finale of Waves of Support,” Navesink Business Group founder Robert Lowe said. “Part of the evening will be dedicated to honoring several organizations and individuals who have made significant efforts in aiding our local communities.”
The Molly Pitcher Inn will be offering a special rate of $159 per night for guests who would like to stay at the Red Bank landmark. Plus, for every room booked for the gala, the Molly Pitcher Inn will donate 25 percent to Waves of Support.
The evening’s honorees include The Foodbank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties, Clean Ocean Action, Hometown Heroes, the Buhler Family, George Lyristis of Bistro Boys Management and Red Bank Flavour.
