Bailey-Boushay House Chefs' Dinner 2012 - Virtual!

On November 1, 1992 at Seattle's Dahlia Lounge, 13 chefs gathered at the first annual "Raise a Fork for Bailey" and raised $15,000 to purchase food for Bailey-Boushay House. Twenty years later, Bailey-Boushay House Chefs' Dinner has grown to become Seattle's culinary event of the year.

Though Chefs' Dinner didn't take place, there is still a crucial need for your support. As you know Bailey-Boushay House provides care for people living with HIV/AIDS and other life-threatening diseases. Every year Bailey-Boushay House counts on Chefs' Dinner to raise $300,000 of operating support. Support essential to providing so many critical direct care services for our patients and clients including medication management, nutrition, and mental health care.

Silent and Live auction - Thanks to many generous contributors, we are pleased to offer over 50 wine packages in our silent auction. Our live auction items include: Tom Douglas Weekend for Two, Private Dinner for Eight at Chateau Ste. Michelle Winery & Col Solare Bottega Wine Tasting, and an original painting by James W. Sutherland, commissioned especially for Chefs' Dinner 2012. Every bid you make will be a chance to win a dinner for two at each of our participating restaurants - that's $1,000 in dinner certificates!

The online auction is will close on Monday, January 30, 2012 at 7:00pm and all items must be picked up at the Virginia Mason Foundation by February 17, 2012.
