Blast for CAST 2023 ~ Thank You!
On July 13th, hundreds of revelers gathered in Stirling Square for the 5th Annual Blast for CAST – our biggest night of the year. American Beech played host once again along with 1943 Pizza Bar. Greenport Harbor Brewing kept things cool in the tropical heat with their ice cold beer. Chronicle Wines provided canettes while American Beech served up signature cocktails for the party like the Berry Blast for CAST. The funky, New Orleans style Hoodoo Loungers were back and had people out on the dance floor. Tate’s Bake Shop provided cookies as party gifts while a host of local bakers came together to create an incredible dessert table of over 1,000 individual delectables! The Northforker and NOFO Live served as Media Sponsors. A Silent Auction and an Art Auction offered an array of great packages and beautiful pieces.
We heard from clients who have been supported and touched by CAST – reminding us all what the party is all about and how much it helps CAST’s mission. Because of the generosity of the community, CAST raised well over $100,000 – our most successful Blast for CAST fundraiser to date. There’s almost too many people to thank!
