Get ready to Taste Bercy Brasserie hosts annual sponsors’ preview reception for The Emergency Aid’s Taste of the Main Line

The Bercy Brasserie in Ardmore recently hosted the annual Sponsors’ Preview Reception for The Emergency Aid’s Taste of the Main Line which will take place on Thursday, March 12 in the startlingly reconfigured Grand Atrium of the Radnor Financial Center. At Taste of the Main Line the area’s most prestigious restaurants will present their exquisite cuisine for hundreds of party-goers who come to support the extremely effective Mentored Scholarships and Grants that The Emergency Aid awards each year.

In addition to the delicious offerings of 333 Belrose, Ardé Osteria, At The Table, Autograph Brasserie, Avalon, The Bercy, Besito, The Choice, Estia, Fleming’s, Fraschetta, Gullifty’s, Main & Vine, Margaret Kuo’s, Nectar, Nothing Bundt Cakes, PommePeachtree Catering, Savona, The Silverspoon and Sullivan’s

Steakhouse, there will also be a Craft Beer Garden hosted by Conshohocken Brewing, La Cabra Brewpub and McKenzie Brew House, plus Beam Suntory is sponsoring a Maker’s Mark Cocktail Competition among all the fine restaurants’ bartending mixologists.

The beneficiary of Taste of the Main Line is The Emergency Aid of Pennsylvania Foundation, the Twentieth Century’s largest volunteer women’s organization in the entire Philadelphia area which has harnessed tens of thousands of local women to give hundreds of thousands of hours and millions of dollars to tirelessly serve children and families in need for over 100 years! Headquartered right here in Wayne, it has been honored by Presidents, Governors, Ambassadors and in 2014 Queen Elizabeth II bestowed her medal on it. Now in its 2nd Century it is dedicated exclusively to the five-county region of Southeastern Pennsylvania, doing its two things exceedingly well – awarding to area students College Scholarships that are accompanied by seven years of mentoring starting in high school, and Grants to local non-profits that significantly impact the present and the futures of children and families right in our area.

The major Corporate Sponsors are Brandywine Realty Trust, M&T Bank, ForeThought, Click Canyon, Janney Montgomery Scott, Pennsylvania Trust and Willis Towers Watson.

Tickets for Taste of the Main Line may be purchased on www.TasteoftheMainLine.com.
