“The evening was perfect!”!
“Fundraising has never tasted so good!”
These sentiments and more like them were wafting from the Conference Centre on Saturday Feb. 21st as White Point hosted its second “On the Rocks” fundraising event. Representatives from the Health Services Foundation of the South Shore, the beneficiary this year, expressed their gratitude to all in attendance when presented with a cheque in the amount of $2850! These funds were the proceeds from the event ticket sales.

Guests of this amazing culinary experience enjoyed an evening of sampling more than 60 varieties of wines, beer and spirits from companies here in Nova Scotia and well beyond. Of course, Chef Alan’s presentation of constantly changing variety of hors d’oeurves were a delight for all.

Now in it’s second year, White Point’s “On the Rocks” is poised to raise about $2500 in support of the Health Services Foundation of the South Shore. The Event is unique in Nova Scotia. It combines the unique oceanfront setting of White Point Beach as the backdrop to an amazing evening of sampling and learning about more than 50 varieties of wines, beer and spirits from Nova Scotia and beyond. With 16 partnering sponsors on hand for the evening serving their products, guests of this “cocktail” party will gain a greater appreciation of the products being showcased from the companies themselves. Add to this the magic of White Point Beach Resort’s Executive Chef Alan Crosby hors d’oeurves and you have an amazing experience “On the Rocks”.

While the evening promises to be incredible on it’s own, it gets even better. 50% of the ticket proceeds are donated to a new charity each year. This year, we expect more than $2500 to be donated to the Health Services Foundation of the South Shore. Indeed Fundraising has never tasted better!
