Our matches made every centerpiece at the Big Chefs Big Gala.

Moments like this are what mentorship is all about: showing up, trying something new, and making memories together. And when our guests sat down at the gala, they got to see a little piece of the friendships their support makes possible.

Thank you Sparks Florist and Truckee-Tahoe Lumber Co for making this happen.
