What to Expect:

Chefs Take a Stand is an opportunity to taste test the hottest restaurants in D.C., sip cutting-edge cocktails, and connect with community members who are passionate about working towards a more equitable future. The event includes a silent-auction with items donated from local and community-oriented businesses. You’ll walk away with a swag bag of DC goodies, ways to promote NNEDV’s work, and a custom-crafted Haiku that celebrates the power of using our voices to make a difference.

As the National Network to End Domestic Violence’s signature fundraising event, Chefs Takes a Stand helps all of our projects move forward. From supporting organizations and survivors with technology and privacy assistance, to supporting the life-saving work coalitions and local programs do every day, the dollars we raise make a difference.  You can learn more about the work that this event supports here.
