Ditch the Tuxedo: Holiday Express' Party is on the Beach this Weekend

The clambake on Sunday at McLoone's Pier House in Long Branch will benefit the organization that delivers music, gifts and financial support to those in need.

The Fourth Annual Sunset Benefit Clambake sponsored by Shore Point Distributing Company and Holly Crest Wine, will be held Sunday, Sept. 18 from 5-9 p.m. at McLoone’s Pier House in Long Branch right on the beach. The cost is $225 per guest and includes an open bar and a lavish buffet including lobster, filet and raw bar.    

Entertainment will be provided by the Holiday Express Band. Attire is casual so attendees can ditch the tuxedos, ball gowns, and heels for shorts, sundresses and sandals.

The clambake will honor the Annarella family of Middletown, who are genuinely committed to the community. Their support of the Holiday Express mission, “bringing the gift of human kindness to those in need” has been remarkable, and they exemplify the meaning of compassion and sensitivity for the people Holiday Express serves.
