CLEARWATER - The Belleview Biltmore Resort, Golf Club, Beach Club, and Spa successfully united with Al "Coffee"McDaniel to raise money for Morton Plant Mease's Susan Cheek Needler Breast Cancer Center at the resort's monthly complimentary wine and cheese tasting called First Fridays.
Musician Al "Coffee" McDaniel's new album "A Shoe is a Shoe" played in the background as hundreds gathered in the Belleview Biltmore's Starlight Ballroom to enjoy the complimentary wine and cheese. McDaniel sold his new CD and t-shirts promoting the new album with a portion of the profits going towards the Susan Cheek Needler Breast Cancer Center.
Thanks to the generosity of the First Friday's attendees, the Belleview Biltmore's registration table raised over $360 in donations for the Morton Plant Mease Foundation! That doesn't even include the proceeds from McDaniel's CD and t-shirt sales. For information on how to donate to the Susan Cheek Needler Breast Cancer Center go to www.mortonplant.com.
