The upscale Summer Soirée cocktail party returns to the Sea Shell Resort and Beach Club in Beach Haven on Friday, Aug. 13, for an elegant night of dinner, cocktails and dancing to raise money for David’s Dream and Believe Cancer Foundation.

The event runs from 7 p.m. to midnight and includes hors d’oeuvres, a themed dinner menu, a three-hour top shelf open bar and DJ LAX entertainment. Individual tickets are $275; a pair is $500.

From 2013 to 2017 the event was called the Island Gala; in 2018 it was rebranded as the “Boardwalk Nights” Summer Soirée and raised over $100,000.
