Cupcake war slated in Branford to benefit BHcare

BRANFORD - A Shoreline Benefit for BHcare featuring Cupcake War 2017 will be held from 5:30-8:30 p.m. May 11 at the Pine Orchard Yacht & Country Club.

The evening will feature a full menu, silent auction, music, an amazing view, wonderful company, and a delectable assortment of cupcakes from local bakeries.

Seven local bakeries are participating in the cupcake war. They are: Eat Your Art Out (North Haven), La Cuisine Café, Market & Catering (Branford), La Rosticceria (Guilford), Marjolaine Pastry Shop (New Haven), Milani Italian Bakery & Cafe (Northford), Parthenon Diner Restaurant (Branford) and Take the Cake (Guilford).

The committee, chaired by Charlotte Mattei, SVP, Webster Bank, and BHcare board member, is seeking event sponsors, ad sponsors and auction donations.  

Event sponsorships range from $250-$1,000 and ad book space is available for as little as $50.

Tickets are currently on sale for $50 each and are selling quickly.  

Any persons or businesses interested in sponsorship, auction donations, or tickets should call Joy DeMarchis at 203-736-2601, ext. 1856 or visit www.bhcare.org.

Decreases in state and federal funding coupled with increases in demand for services make fundraising events such as this benefit critical to sustaining services for those at risk and in need.  

Each year BHcare provides domestic violence, mental health, and addiction services for more than 2,000 Shoreline residents.

The BHcare Shoreline Benefit is sponsored by Rose & Kiernan, as well as by AFLAC, Branford Jewelers, CT Mental Health Center, Eveland Family, Guilford Rotary, Guilford Savings Bank, Madison Rotary and VNA Community Healthcare. Media partner is Shore Publishing.

BHcare is a regional community provider of behavioral health, addiction prevention, and domestic violence services for the Shoreline, Greater New Haven, and Lower Naugatuck Valley communities.
