Sidelines Sports Bar was the location of the recent benefit party for Lynn Ortiz, one of our community’s long-admired bartenders. The event took place on Wednesday, June 6th and was, by all accounts, a remarkable success! Over $9,500 was raised to assist Lynn with her medical bills after undergoing quadruple bypass surgery. A silent auction was held with donated items, such as chic household gifts, original artwork, vintage wines, and sports memorabilia, all going to the highest bidders. These items, as well as the food, were donated by friends and local businesses.

Congratulations go out to Frank, Nick (for the stunning bouquet), Ryan, Steve, Alan, Mike and the owners of Sidelines, Marty Kildea & Laurie Whittaker, who helped organize the affair. “The bar was packed to the hilt all night! We couldn’t believe how many newcomers were there enjoying themselves and promising to come back”, stated Marty.

Congrats team!
