Design, the genius behind the modern, steel furniture now on display at Wink Art & Design, and the band Angels and Airwaves plan to raise a minimum of
$20,000 for St. Vincent's Hospital located in Bridgeport, CT. This
will be St. Vincent's 21st year holding the fund raiser "SWIM Across
the Sound".
The cause: cancer screening, prevention programs, low-cost
or NO-cost for elderly and the under-served. Athletes will be swimming
from Port Jefferson, NY to Bridgeport, CT totally 25 Kilometers. Owner
of Public Nation Design, Jacob Kennedy will be swimming solo for the
full length of the race. David Kennedy, guitarist (and good looks for
the band Angels and Airwaves), will be aboard the safety boat in full
support
In addition, Wink Art & Design will be hosting Do Vallé, LLC Imports to welcome Dutch Henry Vineyard's winemaker, Gary Koehler on Tuesday, May 19th from 6 to 8pm. He will be presenting a selection of the vineyard's finest to include:

ante, and plans to SCUBA dive from Bridgeport, CT to Port Jefferson, NY
without breaking surface the day before. Registering with the
Guinness Book of World Records, Jacob plans to break the longest distance
swam via SCUBA without breaking surface. He hopes are that with this
additional challenge, more money may be raised for those
cancer patients in dire need.
