Sip & Shop Fundraiser Returns To Old Greenwich Next Month To Support Cancer Research

GREENWICH, CT — The Sip & Shop Girls’ Night Out Boutique will return Wednesday, Nov. 5, at Innis Arden Golf Club in Old Greenwich, offering an evening of shopping to support cancer research through Swim Across America – Fairfield County.

The free event, open to the public, will feature a curated marketplace of local and independent vendors, cocktails for purchase, and an opportunity for attendees to sell unwanted gold or silver jewelry and flatware on-site. Net proceeds will benefit Swim Across America to fund cancer research. Denim is not permitted at the venue.

"The Sip & Shop Girls’ Night Out event is such a fun way to come together as a community while supporting life-changing cancer research close to home," said Nancy Carr, event organizer and event director for Swim Across America – Fairfield County, in a news release. "Cancer touches all of us in some way — and every purchase helps fund promising cell and gene therapy research that can make a real difference. In fact, 100% of all funds contributed by Swim Across America to ACGT go directly to fund cancer research that leads to safer and more effective treatments."

Carr said the vendor lineup is designed to showcase unique products. "I love finding new vendors with products you won’t find everywhere. We have some really unique vendors with some amazing products. I’m so excited to see it all come together and it is for such a good cause," she said.

An updated list of vendors and registration details is available at the Sip & Shop webpage.

Sip & Shop has supported Swim Across America – Fairfield County since its first event in 2016. The organization hosts an annual open-water swim each June on the border of Old Greenwich and Stamford and has donated more than $6 million locally to Alliance for Cancer Gene Therapy, which funds cancer gene therapy research.
