Get the month off to an appropriately festive start at the Rodman Celebration for Kids on Saturday, December 1st. The evening, which benefits The Rodman Ride for Kids – an umbrella charity that raises money for social service agencies helping at-risk children in Massachusetts, gets underway at 6:00pm in a whimsical winter wonderland at Boston’s World Trade Center. The fun includes dancing to the World Premier Band, a silent auction of more than 500 items, and sweets and savories from nearly thirty of Boston’s top restaurants. Look for chefs from Aura, Ashmont Grill, Avila, Davio’s Eastern Standard, Gargoyles, Icarus, Il Capriccio, KO Prime, Pigalle, Sasso, Straight Wharf Restaurant, The Blue Room and Tomasso Trattoria.
