Cradle Beach will hold a special celebration at Salvatore’s Italian Gardens on Saturday, Nov. 3, to showcase programs and services offered at Cradle Beach to local children.

The evening will also feature a ceremony to name several individuals as Cradle Beach Legends. The black-tie optional inaugural Gala is being chaired by Amanda and Russell Salvatore, Jr., and will feature live music by Mark Mazue and The Little Big Band, a five-course gourmet dinner, open bar, hors d’oeuvres, and a live and silent auction.

The night will also feature a recognition of our legends, those individuals, businesses, corporations and foundations that have had a long relationship with Cradle Beach and helped it become a year-around organization with three programs serving nearly 1,000 children annually.

Inductees include Peg Cornelius, DiTondo’s Tavern, Ann Didio-Harbin, The Fatta Foundation, SEFCU and James McHugh (posthumously).
