Everyone loves to come to the Beach. The Delaware Beaches have become a destination for fundraising events. Who doesn’t want to get out of town for a few days? Spring is in the air and so are the events that help others in need.
Once a month a fundraising event takes place at Lupo di Mare located at 247 C Rehoboth Ave., in the Hotel Rehoboth, Downtown Rehoboth Beach. It is called Women & Wine. The March dinner will be raising funds for the Delaware Chapter of PKD Foundation. $5.00 from every guest in attendance will go to DE Chapter of PKD!!
Polycystic Kidney disease, as it is known, is an inherited disease in which fluid-filled cysts develop and enlarge in both kidneys, eventually leading to kidney failure. At present, there is no treatment or cure. Dialysis or a kidney transplant is the only lifesaving option. Approximately 1 in 500 or 1,900 Delawareans may be affected. Funds raised through charitable events go to research to find a cure. PKD is one of the most common life-threatening genetic disorders.
Even though it says that is Women & Wine….guys, you are invited too. The dinner will take place on Thursday, March 19th from 6:30 p.m. until 9:00 p.m. Cost? $39 plus gratuity.
I got the menu!!
FIRST COURSE: Roasted Beet Caprese paired with Ruffino Prosecco
SECOND COURSE: Seared Day Boat Scallop, prosciutto, poached pear and white grape, paired with Robert Mondavi Chardonnay
THIRD COURSE: Filthy Risotto, sunny egg, paired with Saved Red Blend
DESSERT: Blood Orange Flan, paired with Jackson-Triggs Vidal Ice Pearl

Delaware is such a small state, but widely known to have a big heart. Downtown Rehoboth Beach is one square mile full of restaurants, shops, and galleries, and entertainment. Let’s not forget that it is a destination for year-round fun. A wide beach, an award-winning boardwalk…and even though the restaurants serve unique and amazing foods….the Boardwalk grub will have you come back again and again. It’s true.
“Get Down In Town” is such a fun event. On Friday, April 4th, from 6 p.m. until 9 p.m., Rehoboth Beach Main Street will host this event that is now in its 4th year. It is a special evening of really great deals, accompanied with fantastic appetizers and desserts from your favorite restaurants inside participating downtown Rehoboth shops.
To be a part of this one-night charitable event of discounts and food, you can purchase $10 glow necklaces. Proceeds from the sale of the necklaces will go to Rehoboth Elementary School’s PTO and RICI which is Rehoboth Inspired Chefs’ Initiative. Glow necklaces can be purchased the night of the event or in advance at:
Azura Clothing, 139 Rehoboth Avenue
Bellmoor, 6 Christian Street
Carlton’s, 31 Rehoboth Avenue
Heidi Lowe Gallery, 328 Rehoboth Avenue
Rehoboth Beach Main Street, 28 Lake Avenue
Participants can also enter a drawing to win thousands of dollars in gifts and prizes from Rehoboth merchants.
This local fundraising event is for such a good local cause. The phrase “shop local, dine local” could not be more appropriate. If you have visited Rehoboth Beach, I am sure you have to agree that there is no better place where you can wine, dine, walk and shop with ease. After all that shopping, relaxing with friends for cocktails or dinner is always a must, and Rehoboth had plenty accommodations which include, hotels, and B & Bs.

Have a great day!!

An afternoon of “dog-gone” good fun for individuals, families and canines at the 3rd Annual “Bark on the Boards”….Destination? Lake Gerar in Rehoboth Beach, Delaware. Date? Saturday, October 5th.
Even though Rehoboth Beach is known as a summer destination, the Second Season is one of the best. Restaurants are open, shops are full of merchandise, the beach is a place for relaxation….and for fundraising!!
If you are traveling with your pooch to Rehoboth Beach, check this fundraising event hosted by the Delaware Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. It is the oldest and most experienced animal welfare organization in the state.
Last year, the event attracted more than 250 walkers with their pets. It is sponsored by Browseabout Books. The afternoon includes dog contests, including a bikini contest, a disc dog demonstration, refreshments, kids’ activities, and much more.
Location? Lake Gerar Park in Rehoboth Beach. Lake Gerar is one of the 3 fresh water lakes closest to the ocean anywhere in the country. Along with Silver Lake, and Lake Comegys…these are the jewels of Rehoboth Beach!!
All the money raised is used to fund the work of the Delaware SPCA and for the care of abused, neglected and homeless animals, and their efforts to reduce pet overpopulation through spay/neuter programs. Delaware SPCA is the oldest animal welfare organization in thestate. It was established in 1873. Today it operates shelters in Stanton, New Castle County, and Georgetown, Sussex County.
This walk also coincides with the first day of the “off season”, when leashed pets can be walked on the Boardwalk and beach without restrictions.
Registration begins at 10:30 a.m. in Lake Gerar Park. The walk will start at Noon at the north end of the Boardwalk.
Advanced registration is $20 for adults, before October 3rd, and $25 the day of the event.
Children ages 6-16, accompanied by an adult, are $5; those 5 years of age and under are free. Walkers can pre-register on-line at http://www.delspca.org.
This year Bark On The Boards is part of a schedule of Delaware SPCA’s 140th Anniversary events that will culminate with the “Canines on the Catwalk 140th Gala” to be held at Greenville Country Club in Wilmington, Delaware, on November 16th. The fun and fashionable festival will include a night of tasteful delights, entertainment, silent auctions, and a runway event featuring some very cool cats and haute designer dogs. More info?
