2012’s Great Chefs Event promises to be as exciting and successful as last years. In 2011, VFFC welcomed 40 world-renowned chefs, entertained 1100 guests and raised funds for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for continued research into the causes and cures for pediatric cancer.
Hosted at the Urban Outfitters world headquarters, the evening featured tastings prepared by each of the “Great Chefs,” live and silent auctions, a fund-a-cure donation opportunity and an amazing open letter to Alex read by her mother, Liz Scott. The evening’s big auction items included a dinner at Vetri Ristorante with Iron Chefs Michael Symon and Bobby Flay, a dinner for 20 at Iron Chef Jose Garces’ JG Domestic, and a dinner for 8 prepared in home by Top Chef Winner Kevin Sbraga. These three items alone raised almost $80,000.
