Evalyn Dunn Gallery to Host "Sip and Shop Night"

Benefiting the Westfield Area YMCA's Financial Assistance Program

The Evalyn Dunn Gallery and the Westfield Area YMCA invite you and friends to kick off the season of giving and philanthropy at "Sip and Shop Night," a social evening on Thursday, November 14 from 5:00-8:00 pm. Hosted at the Evalyn Dunn Gallery, 549 South Avenue W. in Westfield, this adult-only event will include light appetizers and beverages as you browse artwork and one-of-a-kind gifts.

In the spirit of giving back, Evalyn Dunn Gallery will donate 10% of any purchase made on the evening of the event through December 31 to the Westfield Area YMCA Strong Kids+ Annual Support Campaign. The campaign ensures that no one experiencing a bona fide financial hardship who lives or works in Cranford, Garwood, Mountainside, or Westfield is turned away for inability to pay for Y programs or memberships. The majority of awards enable participation in the Y's early learning, school age, and summer day camp programs.

This event is open to the community and provides an opportunity to enjoy the gallery's unique gifts while supporting a meaningful cause. RSVPs are appreciated by Monday, November 11 to Marla Itzkin at mitzkin@westfieldynj.org.
