Martini Shakedown fundraiser returns to the Coast Saturday

Tomorrow night, you can sip your favorite martini and help make wishes come true!

Make-A-Wish Mississippi’s annual Martini Shakedown fundraiser starts at 7 p.m. Saturday at the Beau Rivage.

Martinis, great food, and lots of fun are being mixed up for a good cause. Make-A-Wish uses the proceeds of the benefit to grant wishes for children with critical illnesses.

In addition to the night of fun, food, music, and mixers, there will be a silent auction. These items range from fine jewelry to vacations.

If you can’t make it to the event, you can still participate online by checking out their details on their Facebook event page. Make-A-Wish South MS Director Shellie Moses said, “This year we have a lot of new people that are participating which is always a great sign for our organization and we’re anticipating another sold out event.”
