Sickles Market to Hold Wine & Cheese Tasting Fundraiser to Benefit Holiday Express

Sickles Market’s Wine and
Cheese Tasting Fundraiser to Benefit Holiday Express will be held in the
Sickles Market greenhouse, Little Silver, New Jersey, on Friday, November 2,
7-10p.m. Sickles Market will dress up its greenhouse in magical holiday style,
serve its award-winning gourmet foods, artisanal cheeses and pour premium
wines. The event - which is denim casual - will offer live entertainment by
some of the best talent from the Holiday Express band; a silent auction
brimming with rare, collectible wines hand selected from our area’s top wine
collectors; and a live auction that includes the hugely popular and totally
unique Wine Crawls – progressive tours of some of the Jersey Shore’s best
private wine cellars. Plus so many more wine and food-centric surprises! Last
year’s sold-out event was attended by 300 guests and raised over $120,000 for
Holiday Express. Tickets are $125.  Sponsorships are also available. To
reserve tickets or make a sponsorship please call Tori Sickles at 732.741.9563.

Sickles are about as generous with their time and resources as any people we
know,” said Tim McLoone, founder of Holiday Express. “This event serves as a
great kick-off to our season and also provides needed resources to help us
‘bring the gift of human kindness’ to the people most in need during the
Holiday season."
