In 2015, over 5,500 homemade cookies were donated and sold. In 2016, the event grew to over 15,000 cookies and raised over $7,500 for the Fuccile Foundation and local families in need.

This event will be held at the Sea Oaks Country Club in Little Egg Harbor Township. Tickets will be $80 per person and include a sit down dinner, three hour open bar, and a live interactive show with four Murder Mystery Company actors. Dress for this night of murderous mayhem includes flapper dresses, zoot suits, feather boas and headbands, pinstriped suits and fedoras.

This is sure to be a thrilling night while continuing to help the families of Ocean of Love.
