Celebrating Hope 2016 Kicks Off in Greenwich
Fourth Annual Benefit Set for Friday, April 29 at L’escale at the Delamar Hotel
Members of the Celebrating Hope 2016 Committee gathered at the home of Greenwich resident Nancy Ozizmir to kick off planning for the fourth annual event. Celebrating Hope 2016 will be held on Friday, April 29, 2016 at L’escale at the Delamar Hotel and proceeds will benefit the Alzheimer’s Association Connecticut Chapter.
Celebrating Hope 2016 event cochairmen Ginge Cabrera (Greenwich), Cristin Marandino (Stamford) and Nancy Ozizmir (Greenwich) addressed the crowd that included volunteers from towns throughout Fairfield County. “It was such an inspiring night - beautiful setting, delicious food and amazing people united by a passion to fight Alzheimer's and have some fun along the way. I consider myself truly blessed to be a part of this team,” offered Ginge Cabrera.
Since its inception, Celebrating Hope has raised $500,000 through three sold-out cocktail events. This year’s benefit will be held at L’escale at the Delamar Hotel and will offer an expanded program including silent and live auctions, featured speakers, dinner and dancing.
