Food & Wine Event a Sweet Success for SAF

03/30/09

The ninth annual "Food, Friends & Fine Wine" fund-raiser benefitting Stand Among Friends was an overwhelming success, thanks to more than 100 participants and the generosity of Pompano Beach-based Cash4Gold, title sponsor of the festivities.

Featuring more than 400 fine wines and a gourmet dinner prepared by renowned Chef Bart Messing, the event included live and silent auctions, and an amazing display of talent as performance artist Brian Olsen presented "Art in Action," his rapid-fire creation of 4-by-6-foot paintings.

The fundraiser, held at the Woodfield Country Club in Boca Raton, brought in over $67,000 for Stand Among Friends.

"We are so grateful for the tremendous generosity of Cash4Gold, our other sponsors and all of our donors," said Shawn Friedkin, President and Founder of Stand Among Friends. "Without them, this event, and our ongoing effort in aiding people with disabilities, would simply not be possible."

"I've known and admired Shawn and his work for years," said Cash4Gold President Howard Mofshin. "Cash4Gold CEO Jeff Aronson and I are proud to support Shawn and his team's great work at Stand Among Friends."
