Provided/Seashore Gardens Living Center Black & White Ball.
ATLANTIC CITY – Seashore Gardens Foundation is planning a grand evening of dining and dancing at its 10th annual Black & White Ball 6 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 29 at Resorts Hotel and Casino. The Black & White Ball is the organization’s major annual fundraiser for resident programs at Seashore Gardens Living Center, a nonprofit home for the aged in Galloway Township.
This year, the black-tie event will pay tribute to the 53-year legacy of President and CEO Martin H. Klein. The event will feature cocktails, dinner, and dancing to music by Eddie Bruce Experience. Resorts is offering special room rates for ball guests and self-parking is complimentary.
Proceeds of the event support the following SGLC programs:
- Eldergrow, a therapeutic gardening program that engages residents in meaningful ways – physically, socially, cognitively, creatively and spiritually.
- Music including concerts on the Boardwalk, drum circles, sing-alongs and the Music & Memory SM program for those suffering from Alzheimer’s and dementia.
- Opening Minds Through Art where residents are paired with occupational therapy students from Stockton University to create art while building meaningful one-on-one relationships.
- iN2LTM computers that connect residents with music, travel, video chats and more.
- A Pet Therapy program that features furry and feathered friends who visit the residents. The annual dog parade on the Boardwalk is a highlight for all.
- Baking, movies, book groups, discussions on current events, and more.
