Wesley Foundation to celebrate ‘Bond Style’ at gala
SARATOGA SPRINGS, N.Y. >> The Wesley Foundation, the philanthropic arm of The Wesley Community in Saratoga Springs, will host its annual gala at the Saratoga Golf and Polo Club, 301 Church St., on Saturday, May 20 from 6 to 10 p.m.
The theme of the event is “Bond Style,” a news release said. Attendees can enjoy an evening filled with the style and suspense synonymous with the classic James Bond films, the release said.
The presenting sponsor of this year’s gala is The Adirondack Trust Company, which recently presented a $10,500 donation to The Wesley Foundation in support of its 2017 special events.
“We are very pleased to support The Wesley Health Care Center and the outstanding service they provide to their residents,” Executive Vice President of The Adirondack Trust Company Charles V. Wait Jr. said in the release.
Proceeds from the evening will support the renovation of the Resident Activities Room at The Wesley Health Care Center.
The residence caters to aging adults who may have chronic medical needs requiring daily assistance. The Resident Activities Room serves as a social hub for these residents, and provides a venue for performances, religious services and other social gatherings, the release said.
“The annual gala will be a fun, festive night to support a wonderful cause, and it will certainly make a difference for all the residents that call the Wesley Health Care Center home,” Tom Roohan — honorary chair of this year’s gala alongside his wife, Kristie — said in the release.
The event will offer food by Chef John Ireland, a British-inspired dessert bar, and a cash bar which features a martini slide.
The event will also feature music by The Refrigerators, décor from Fine Affairs, a silent auction, and Bond-inspired selfie stations, in addition to other activities, the release said.
Tickets are $125 per person or $200 per couple. Reservations are required and can be made by phone at (518) 6911420 or at www.thewesleycommunity.org/gala.
