27th Annual Mama’s Day
The 27th annual Mama’s Day is scheduled for Friday, May 11, 2018 from 6:30 p.m. to 9:30 p.m. at the Hyatt Regency La Jolla at Aventine located at 3777 La Jolla Village Drive. Mama’s Day, often touted as the original San Diego tasting event, is held the Friday evening before Mother’s Day and features more than 50 of San Diego’s finest restaurants for more than 600 attendees. Proceeds from the event help to raise critical funds for Mama's Kitchen's mission to deliver three hot, nutritional meals a day, seven days a week and free of charge to local women, men and children vulnerable to hunger due to HIV, cancer or other critical illnesses. This year, the event aims to raise $215,000 which will provide 73,000 meals to San Diego’s critically ill neighbors. At this San Diego tasting event, guests are also encouraged to engage in an extensive silent auction and opportunity drawing to help raise critical funds for those most vulnerable to hunger in San Diego County. This year’s culinary host is 15-time Emmy® award-winning chef and author, Sam “The Cooking Guy” Zien, who will be providing a special cooking presentation for VIP guests. Tickets may be purchased online at www.mamaskitchen.org. Sponsorships are available, and there are opportunities for chefs and restaurants to participate.
