STATEN ISLAND, NEW YORK, UNITED STATES, January 25, 2017 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Carl V. Bini Memorial Fund will kick off 2017 with its Annual Bini Winter Bash at Nicotra’s Ballroom at The Hilton Garden Inn on Saturday, January 28th. The event will feature a gourmet sit down dinner, live auction prizes, and musical performances by The Guthrie Brothers, 80’s cover band Radio Daze, and soul band Motor City Revue. Proceeds raised from the event will benefit the organization’s mission of helping the local community in a time of need, including its newest initiative Carl’s House, a 100% free community drug resource center staffed by people in recovery offering assistance to addicts and their families.— Massimo DiDonna
“Since we opened Carl’s House more than 500 families have received help,” said Massimo DiDonna, Chairman and President of The Carl V. Bini Memorial Fund. “There’s still work to be done, and the money raised from our Winter Bash will allow us to continue our mission of helping the community in a time of need.”
Carl’s House opened its doors in early 2016 and has since aligned itself with partners locally and nationally including Camelot, Community Health Action, Christopher’s Reason, Staten Island University Hospital, the YMCA, Catholic Charities of Staten Island and others. Its free services include family counseling twice a week, peer to peer counseling (one addict talking to another), four recovery based meetings open to all, and the only Heroin Anonymous Meeting in the city of New York.
“Drugs are a community problem, not simply an addict’s problem,” said Marco DiDonna, Carl’s House staff member. “Together we have the ability to help those struggling with addiction, and that’s what this event is all about.”
Tickets to the event are $150 per person and include full cocktail hour, gourmet sit down dinner, top shelf open bar, and live musical performances. Tickets and more information available by visiting www.binifund.org or dialing (718) 412- 1851.
