Village of Merrick Park’s retailers including Blumarine, Bognar & Piccolini, Edward Beiner, Elemis Spa, Equinox Fitness Club & Spa, Furla, L’Occitane, La Perla, Mayors, Silvia Tcherassi, Swarovski and Via Quadronno doubled as dessert destinations for the evening, and played host to a silent auction. Proceeds from the silent auction benefited Habitat for Humanity, the official charity of Village of Merrick Park.
