SubscribeDenver’s own Jersey boy, Frank Bonanno, holds Hurricane Sandy fundraiser
Vesper fundraiser
This just in from my favorite Jersey girl, Wendy Aiello, who writes an excellent press release:
Because of strong New Jersey roots that made the sting of Hurricane Sandy hit close to home, Denver restaurateur Frank Bonanno and a group of his New Jersey transplanted friends are opening the doors to the new Vesper Lounge on Tuesday, December 18 at 5:00 to raise money for the Westfield Rotary Club in New Jersey that will go to support the Community Food Bank of New Jersey.
Frank Bonanno was born and raised in New Jersey before moving to Denver and becoming a community fixture. Same for Wendy Aiello, Phil Cortese, Sean Duffy, Ken Fellman, Carmine Iadorola, Michael Kearns, Sean Kenyon and Gene Sobczak. The group has banded together to invite fellow Coloradoans, those with and without ties to New Jersey, to come check out Denver’s coolest new neighborhood bar, and help.
Thanks to Bonanno’s generosity, 100 percent of all the door, food and liquor sales will go to helping New Jersey recover from the devastation Hurricane Sandy delivered in late October. For a cost of just $20 at the door, guests can enjoy Bonanno’s award-winning cuisine and some New Jersey-style camaraderie while providing much needed aid to New Jersey.
WHEN: Tuesday, December 18, 2012, 5:00 p.m.-11:00 p.m.
WHERE: Vesper Lounge, 233 East 7th Ave Denver, CO 80203 (click here for map)
WHO: Wendy Aiello, Frank Bonanno, Phil Cortese, Sean Duffy, Ken Fellman, Carmine Iadorola, Michael Kearns, Sean Kenyon, Gene Sobczak
