On Saturday, November 8, Dan’s Legacy will once again host its Chefs Charity Dinner gala in Surrey, an annual event that raises funds for the charity’s trauma-informed counselling and wrap-around support programs for at-risk youth.
The last time Dan’s Legacy held its fundraiser in Surrey was in 2019 in the foyer of City Hall; this year the location is the Civic Hotel, Autograph Collection, which has generously come on board as the Venue Sponsor.
Guests at the event will enjoy a smorgasbord of dishes prepared by the culinary team at the Civic Hotel under the direction of Head Chef Adam Meagher, as well as chefs Shay Kelly (LACH & Kea Culinary Consultants), Andrew Brazeau-George – Wet’suwet’en Nation | Métis, Alannah Peddie (Frolic & Forage Catering), and Luke Willingdon (Dan’s Diner) – along with students in Dan’s Legacy’s Cook Training program – who will only use recovered food in their creations.
Celebrity Erin Cebula returns as the fundraiser’s MC.
The evening’s program includes music, a silent auction, stories from Dan’s Legacy’s youth clients, and a chance to enjoy outstanding cuisine – a foodie’s dream!
