Join Chef Robert Irvine at The Desmond Malvern (July 19)

UPDATE: This event has been postponed.

Head to the deck at The Desmond Malvern for Cocktails for a Cause with Chef Robert Irvine on Thursday, July 19. Hosted by Fox 29’s Bob Kelly, this fundraising event kicks off with a VIP party at 5:30 p.m., followed by beer from local breweries, specialty cocktails, live music with Hake & Jarema and food tastings until 8 p.m. The food will be prepared by Chef Irvine’s team in collaboration with the Desmond Hotel.

All event proceeds will benefit the Child Life, Creative Arts Therapy and Schools Program, including the expansion of the new Child Life Activity Center at Nemours/Alfred I. duPont Hospital for Children in Wilmington, Delaware. The Child Life program provides developmentally appropriate activities, education and preparation for medical procedures, emotional support, academic instruction and holistic interventions to promote healing.  The new center will be a place where patients, their families and visitors will feel comfortable, engaged, playful and safe.  We hope you will join in supporting this extremely important program and state of the art center by attending the July 19th event.
