More than 300 supporters expected at Normandy Farm in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania, to support local individuals living with emotional, behavioral and cognitive differences.

Villanova, PA – Sept. 15, 2022 – On Saturday, Nov. 12, Devereux Advanced Behavioral Health, one of the nation’s oldest and largest nonprofit providers of behavioral healthcare, will host its Wine and Dine event at the historic Normandy Farm in Blue Bell, Pennsylvania. The event will raise critical funds for the children, adolescents and adults living with emotional, behavioral and cognitive differences Devereux serves in southeastern Pennsylvania.

During this event, New York City restauranteur and sommelier Paul Grieco will guide guests through a wine tasting experience. Grieco, a James Beard Award recipient who led the beverage program at the famed Gramercy Tavern, and later opened his own renowned restaurants, Hearth and Terroir, will captivate attendees with his effervescent charm, storytelling experience and astounding knowledge of various wines. In addition, the event will feature sumptuous cuisine prepared by Normandy Farm, as well as live music, set against the charming and elegant backdrop of the landmark venue. The event is expected to draw more than 300 guests.

“After three years, we are thrilled and honored to gather in-person once again with our donors, friends and supporters, and thank them for their steadfast commitment to our organization and those in our care,” said Devereux President and CEO Carl E. Clark II. “This event will serve as a ‘reunion’ of sorts, and provide a wonderful opportunity to share with our attendees how their compassion and generosity are helping to make a difference in the lives of the youth and adults we serve every day.”
