Chef's Night Out 2009 was a fabulous success, raising nearly $70,000 for Solid Ground's Operation Frontline's (OFL) program! CNO accounts for over half of OFL's annual budget, and thanks to our sponsors and participating restaurants and chefs, 100% of ticket sales and the night’s proceeds go directly back to the program. OFL is a partnership between Solid Ground and Share Our Strength (SOS) — offering classes on nutrition, healthy cooking, and food budgeting for individuals at risk of hunger and malnutrition.

Stay tuned for next year's Chef’s Night Out (CNO) Culinary & Wine Experience, where your table of 10 guests will spin a wheel to determine which one of 15 renowned Seattle-area chefs will personally prepare and serve your table a five-course meal with wine pairings. For more information about CNO, contact Claire Leamy at OFL@solid-ground.org or 206.694.6750.

A Huge Thank You to our 2009 Sponsors!
