It\u2019s an event that promises some glitz and glamour, all while raises awareness and funds for a historic community structure.\u00a0<\/span><\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The first of what hopes to be an annual event, the Sparkle and Pine Cocktail Gala Fundraiser is taking place on Thursday, Nov. 28 at the legendary Tucker House, located at 1731 Tucker Road in Rockland.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The inaugural Sparkle and Pine Cocktail Gala Fundraiser takes place from 6:30 p.m. until 9:30 p.m and includes a silent auction that raises funds for Tucker House\u2019s various community initiatives.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re excited to bring the Rockland community together for a night that celebrates food, fashion\u202fand\u202fphilanthropy,\u201d said Chantal Sarkisian, the event\u2019s host\u202fand\u202forganizer. \u201cThe\u202fSparkle\u202fand\u202fPine\u202fGala is about making meaningful connections, while raising crucial funds to support Tucker House\u2019s mission of sustainability\u202fand\u202fcommunity care.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Originally from Toronto, Sarkisian has lived in Rockland for the past three years. After living in the busy, fast-moving pace of the Toronto life, Sarkisian found that her circle was a little smaller than it once was.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarkisian said she wanted to create something for the community, while bringing together local business leaders and entrepreneurs for an evening of mingling and networking, all while shining a spotlight on the Tucker House.\u00a0<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI come from a background in fundraising, and we would always organize one, big fundraising event a year that would really be the most important one,\u201d she said. \u201cIt\u2019s one of those events that welcomes anyone and gives them a chance to get out that dress they have wanted to wear for so long, or that suit that you haven\u2019t had a chance to wear. Guests are encouraged to dress to impress as the evening will celebrate not only community spirit but also style\u202fand\u202felegance.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The\u202fSparkle\u202fand\u202fPine\u202fGala promises to be a dazzling affair, combining the natural beauty of the Rockland area with the glitz\u202fand\u202fglamour of a cocktail evening. The event will feature cocktails, hors d\u2019oeuvres prepared by Chef Nouk, DJ Karyen,\u202fand\u202fa fashion presentation by local boutique Bel’Ortie.\u201d<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Sarkisian said she would like the Sparkle and Pine Gala a yearly event for the community and raise awareness for the work that the Tucker House does.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
