Teach a Kid to Fish: A Dinner at 18 Reasons in Support of its Youth Programming

Please join us for a meal and conversation to support 18 Reasons youth programming cooked by Bi-Rite's Sam Mogannam and Delfina's Craig Stoll.

When: Wednesday, October 17, 2012; 7 p.m.
Where: 18 Reasons (3674 18th St, San Francisco, CA 94110)
Tickets: $250-1,000. Seating limited to 26 people.
Supporters who donate $5,000 to this event will receive an additional private dinner for 10 cooked by Sam Mogannam at 18 Reasons.

18 Reasons has served local youth for the past two years through highly successful programs that teach vital cooking skills, encourage healthy eating habits, and provide career readiness. Seeing tremendous potential in these programs, we seek to expand their depth and reach, and we're hoping you can help us do just that.

Please join us on Wednesday, October 17 at 7 p.m. for an engaging conversation and dinner prepared by Bi-Rite Market's Sam Mogannam and Delfina Restaurant's Craig Stoll to support 18 Reasons' youth programming. We hope to empower children to be critical thinkers, provide the tools needed to contribute positively, and to have a healthy relationship with the food they eat.

Ingredients will be sourced from the Bi-Rite Farm and paired with wines selected by Bi-Rite wine buyer Trac Le.

Your participation will directly support 18 Reasons' youth programming, including our healthy eating classes at Hilltop High, culinary career preparation with the Boys and Girls Club, teacher training workshops with Education Outside, youth mentorship with Eat Ur Veggies, gardening and cooking summer camps, and creative writing classes. Your contribution will also support 18 Reasons in expanded programming so we can reach even more youth in our community.

Please join us and be part of our dream of impacting the lives of our kids.
