To kick off their October 19 fundraising Gala, and to celebrate more than 32 years of dedicated service to the community, Lunch Break is having a kick off party at the Downtown in Red Bank, August 16 from 7 to 10 p.m., and you’re invited. 

The evening will feature the Docs of Rock band and includes Dr. Larry Sykoff, Ed.D., former head of Ranney School, Senior Consultant, on guitar, Dr. Scott Woska, M.D., Interventional Pain Management, on keyboard; Dr. Ken Grossman, M.D., Dermatologist, on drums; Dr. Kristin Scott, D.V.M., Veterinary Medicine, vocalist; Dr. David Lessing, M.D., Orthopedic Surgery, on bass; Dr. Brian Incremona, M.D., Internist and Erin Patrick, vocals. Since inception four years ago, the Docs of Rock have raised $45,000 for local charities.  

Long time supporter and friend of Lunch Break, Dr. Sykoff said “Lunch Break makes a big difference in the lives of our friends and neighbors who are struggling.  The Docs of Rock are proud to be partners with Lunch Break as we share a mutual commitment to ensure that those who are less fortunate have access to food, clothing and basic social services.”  

So, save the date, Sunday, August 16 to rock with the docs at the Downtown located at 10 West Front Street in Red Bank. There is a suggested, though not required, $20 donation per person at the kick off party.  There will be a live auction for a table for 10 with premium seating at Lunch Break’s October 19 Gala, and there will be a 50/50 raffle at $30 per ticket or two for $50 to raise funds for Lunch Break.  The winner of the raffle, who need not be present, will be announced at the Gala.
