Wilmington-based developer, owner and management company The Buccini/Pollin Group, Inc. (BPG), sponsored The Taste of the Riverfront on September 14, 2013. The event featured complimentary food from restaurants on Wilmington’s Riverfront, entertainment from DJ Mazz, condo tours of The Residences at Justison Landing and Limo Tours of Downtown Wilmington. Bottled water was given away at the event courtesy of ShopRite, and donations were asked for The Sunday Breakfast Mission.
$186.01 was donated to The Sunday Breakfast mission and it couldn’t have happened at a better time. “There were just layoffs at this location, we could really use the money right now,” the front desk worker explained, “Every little bit helps.”
