On most nights, Garnet Avenue’s Tavern at the Beach is known for its hip-hop dance floor and long lines, but on June 23 the space was transformed into an upscale scene, complete with a red carpet entrance and paparazzi waiting outside. The event marked the Charity Ball, which raised funds for Doctor’s Without Borders, an independent operation that provides aid to more than 60 countries encountering natural disasters, malnutrition or epidemics. The event raised a few thousand dollars for the charity. Tavern at the Beach chose the organization due to its impressive international contributions. The first Charity Ball was one of several charity events Tavern puts on each year. “We probably do three to four [events] a year, something relating to charity,” said Judson Mykel, one of the Tavern managers who planned the event. “… We like to stay involved.”
