Cosmopolitan Summer Party Raises $3,000 for CCMI

Fort Myers, FL, August 22, 2010 --(PR.com)-- The Cosmopolitan Summer Party, held August 12 at Bistro 41 and co-hosted by Opici Wine & Spirits, Grandeur Magazine and plastic surgeon Dr. Drew Kreegel raised $3,000 to support Community Cooperative Ministries Incorporated’s (CCMI) mission to feed the hungry this summer.

Held as a preview to the annual Becoming Cosmopolitan fundraiser for CCMI, the nearly 50 ladies in attendance had the opportunity to sample and vote for their favorite cosmopolitan drink recipe to be featured at that event and win some “cosmopolitan” prizes including jewelry, designer clothing, weekend getaways and facial care.

The event began as a way for Kreegel Aesthetic Surgery to celebrate its being featured in a special plastic surgery section in Cosmopolitan magazine. “We wanted a fun way to celebrate with the community and it was a natural fit to tie into the popular ‘Becoming Cosmopolitan’ event,” says Dr. Drew Kreegel. “Working with CCMI and the other sponsors, we were able to team up and make this a pre-party of sorts for the larger event this fall and help to feed the hungry now and later.”

Becoming Cosmopolitan is an annual women’s only event featuring shopping, gourmet food and drink and live and silent auctions to raise money for CCMI, and is slated for October 21. Dr. Kreegel will also participate in this event.
