Local Restaurants to Present at the “Wine in Winter” Charity Event this Friday

The Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund will host its 6th Annual Wine in Winter Celebration on Feb. 1 at Normandy Farms Hotel & Conference Center in Blue Bell at 7 p.m.

The event, which is expected to bring out more than 500 supporters, will feature a silent auction and raffles for unique and exclusive items and experiences, including a Walt Disney World package, dinner with a local food critic, and more.

More than 40 Delaware Valley restaurants will provide refreshments for the event, including Blackfish from Conshohocken, Cantina Feliz from Whitemarsh, Forest & Main Brewing Co., The Farmer’s Daughter, Mina Cucina Rustica, Origlio Beverages, 10 Bella, Joseph Ambler Inn, William Penn Inn, Saffron, Yuengling, the Philadelphia Distilling Co. and Ooka.

The Kelly Anne Dolan Memorial Fund, headquartered in Ambler, advocates for families with seriously ill, physically and cognitively challenged, and severely injured children nationwide through information and education, and provides financial assistance for needs not covered by insurance to families whose children are living in or cared for in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, or Delaware.

Peggy and Joe Dolan created the fund after their daughter, Kelly Anne, lost her battle with a rare form of Leukemia in 1976. They learned how the serious illness of a child could affect an entire family, and the fund helps families deal with the illness or disability of a child.

Tickets are $100 per person, $70 of which is considered a tax-deductible contribution. For tickets, call KADMF at 215-643-0763
