The Bridge Hosts 'Bridging the Gap' 2014

"Bridging the Gap," the annual fall fundraiser hosted by The Bridge, will take place on Friday, September 26, from 5:30 –8:30 p.m. at Gallery 400 downtown. The theme for this year's event is Classic St. Louis, and will feature some of St. Louis residents' food faves: toasted ravioli from Bartolino's, pulled pork from Pappy's Smokehouse, pretzels from Gus's and BLTs from Crown Candy Kitchen. Rounding out the buffet is that hometown specialty, Gooey Butter Cake! The evening's entertainment features silent and live auctions; artwork created onsite by performance artist Vesna Delevska; a wine toss and a souvenir photo station with an original backdrop created especially for the evening. Cash bar. All proceeds will benefit The Bridge.
