Looking For Restaurants/Chefs To Participate In Charity Event for Lolly's Locks

[JAC13]

Hi All,

After taking a couple years off, Lolly's Locks, a local nonprofit that provides high-quality wigs to cancer patients in need, is hoping to revive our Night of Food concept at this spring's gala on Thursday, May 3rd due to overwhelming demand. 

As in years past, we are hoping to assemble some of the DC area's most well-regarded chefs and restaurants to participate in our event by running stations that feature light bites of their food, or by providing such bites to be passed by our catering staff. It is our great hope that we are able to assemble 4-6 restaurants that might be able to come out and be a part of this year's festivities, which will be held at the Carnegie Institution for Science. 

The pertinent logistics for the evening include the following: 

• Each chef is being asked to prepare 300-400 bites of food to either be served at a station run by the chef/restaurant, or to be passed by our catering staff; 
• The event runs from 7:00 -11:00 pm on Thursday, May 3rd;
• We will be providing cocktail napkins, plates, and silver; 
• Each chef/restaurant with a station will have his or her own 8 ft. table and access to power; 
• All chefs will have access to the venue prep kitchen, but no live, open-flame cooking is permitted at any of the stations
• We ask that the stations remain up and running from 7:00 pm until at least 10:00 pm. All participating chefs/restaurants will be mentioned in all press releases surrounding the event, heavily promoted in social media postings, and will have their name/logo listed on our website and all other promotional materials surrounding the event
   

Thank you so much for considering! Please feel free to pass along!

Jaime
