You are cordially invited to Project Open Hand's Seventeenth Annual Hand to Hand Luncheon on December 10, 2008 at the San Francisco Marriott, located on . This premiere annual event raises more than $300,000 for Project Open Hand's meal and nutrition services.
In 1985 in San Francisco, Ruth Brinker, a retired grandmother, watched a dear friend die of AIDS. She realized that for many people with HIV/AIDS, malnutrition was causing death as much as the illness itself. At that time, no social service agency was providing meals to those too weak from AIDS or too impoverished to feed themselves. Using her experience as a manager with another food program, Ruth enlisted the help of her friends, secured a basement kitchen at a local church and began to serve meals to seven clients, Project Open Hand was born.
Hand to Hand will begin with a special cocktail reception and silent auction at 11 am, at noon an exquisite three course meal consisting of four unique appetizers, entrees and desserts, prepared by twelve of the Bay Area's most noted chefs will be served.
Participating chefs include:
- James Irby, Patry Chef of Kuleto's, and
- Keith Jeanminette of the San Francisco Marriott
All proceeds of the event support Project Open Hand's vital meal and nutrition services for thousands of men, women and children in San Francisco and Alameda County.
The levels of sponsorship for tables of ten include Grand Sponsor at $25,000, Benefactor at $10,000, Sponsor at $5,000, Patron at $2,500 and individual tickets at $250. To register online please click here.
