Chefs Take a Stand 2011
The National Network to End Domestic Violence (NNEDV) partnered with some of the best women chefs and mixologists in the nation’s capital to host the summer’s hottest soiree!

Date: Wednesday, June 22, 2011
Time: 6:00-8:00 PM ET
Location: Sequoia, 3000 K Street, NW, Washington, D.C.
Tickets: ***SOLD OUT*** $65 in advance or $75 at the door if available (all food and beverages are included in ticket prices)
This event was designed to raise money for NNEDV to support survivors of domestic violence through innovative projects and partnerships. It combined the three ingredients that insatiable Washingtonians can’t pass up: great food, great cocktails, and an important social cause.
