Perkins Winter Tea Fundraiser Nearly Sold Out

There are about 30 tickets left for the kid-focused arts event, which will be held Sunday in Moorestown. Performers include Sara O'Brien and the Bridge Players Theater Company.

It's sounds like a cliche, but organizers behind A Winter's Tea—the second-biggest annual fundraiser for Perkins Center for the Arts—mean it when they say this year's event will be bigger and better than ever before.

Sarah Winslow, manager of projects and special events for Perkins, said that in addition to the finger foods and holiday crafts and activities attendees have come to expect, visitors this year will also get multiple musical performances.

The Bridge Players Theater Company and Sara O'Brien of Studio Luloo and I Really Like NJ will serenade guests, who will also enjoy a cupcake station sponsored by Ponzio's and a gift basket auction, among other things.

"This year, compared to past years, it's much more entertaining," said Winslow. 

The event is a fundraiser for Perkins—it's raised several thousand dollars for the center the last few years—but Winslow said it's more about throwing a party for the community, especially its children.

"We gear this more to the community and thanking people for their support—less toward, 'Let's haul in a bunch of money,'" Winslow explained.

Tickets are still available for the event, which will be held from 3-5 p.m. Sunday, Dec. 16, at the Community House. Tickets are $35 per person—free for children 2 and younger—and can be purchased online or at the door. There were only about 30 left as of Tuesday.
