Great Chefs & Wineries Goes Virtual

1466-Lifehouse-170422.jpg

Dear Lifehouse Community,

For the first time in Great Chefs & Wineries 30-year history, it is with a heavy heart that Lifehouse regretfully must cancel the April 18 2020 event. This event is a significant fundraiser for Lifehouse. I am grateful for your patience as we have explored other options and we are excited to announce that we will move from a physical event to a virtual event!

Because the auction is such a critical part of our fundraising efforts, Lifehouse will really need your help in offsetting the lost revenue from this cancelation. We will be holding a “Virtual Silent Auction”. Auction items will be available to bid starting April 3, with new items added regularly. The silent auction will close at 5:00 PM on Saturday, April 18, 2020, the date our event was originally scheduled.

We are also working with our auctioneer, Damon Casatico, in presenting a “Virtual Live Auction” with some fabulous experiences. The list of “live auction” items will be available to review prior to April 18. Details to follow. Please remember that Great Chefs & Wineries generates a substantial portion of the funds raised by Lifehouse each year, thus we urge you to participate in the online auction and raffle, and also to encourage your friends to participate. Stay tuned for more details on our virtual event.

With the cancellation of the physical event, Lifehouse would like to extend the following options to those who have already purchased tickets and reserved tables:

1. Donate your ticket and/or table to Lifehouse and receive a tax deduction for the full purchase price.

2. If you would like to receive a refund, please contact Nancy Dow Moody

at 415-526-5309.

Please remember we will continue to recognize our sponsors, restaurants, wineries and other vendors in upcoming advertising, newsletters, and social media.

Thank you for supporting Lifehouse and the over 360 people with developmental disabilities that we serve and our 400+ wonderful staff who are working diligently to get us through this crisis.

Sincerely,
