A special
evening of fine wine and craft beer tasting paired with a selection of
complementary cheeses will benefit the scholarship program of Special People
United to Ride (SPUR), the equestrian program for disabled people of all ages.

The event
will take place on Saturday, October 5, from 6:30 pm to 8:30 p.m., at Thompson
Park Visitor Center, 805 Newman Springs Road, Lincroft. Tickets are $60 per
person.

In addition
to the tastings, there will be a display of original art including Keyport’s
Butterfly Renaissance Project, live music and a 50/50 raffle.

SPUR is a 501(c)3 not-for-profit
therapeutic horsemanship program held at Sunnyside Equestrian Center, Lincroft,
under the auspices of the Monmouth County Park System.

Guided by instructors certified by
PATH International, the governing body of therapeutic horseback riding, and
more than 100 volunteers annually, over 200 children and adults with physical,
cognitive and developmental disabilities are served each year. The limitations
these individuals face are replaced by the freedom of handling and riding a
horse, and their gains in physical strength and self-confidence continue to
make a positive impact in their daily lives.

All proceeds from the evening will
provide scholarship support for students with demonstrated
financial need.

Generously
underwritten by Investors Bank, the event’s other partners include Shore Point
Distributors, J. Lohr Wines, R and R Marketing, Sickles Market, Monmouth
County Arts Council and the Encore Orchestra of New Jersey, LLC.
