Open Hand will host its 21st annual Party in the Kitchen fundraiser on Sept. 26 at 6:30 p.m. at The Foundry at Puritan Mill.
Party in the Kitchen will showcase 20 of Atlanta’s best chefs, while attendees enjoy an evening of creative cuisine, innovative mixology, live music from The American Flyers, auctions, and more.
Chefs Peter Kaiser and Kevin Rathbun return as chef co-chairs of the evening, while Anne Barge Clegg and Roger Smith join as new event co-chairs for this year.
“We are honored to have Anne Barge Clegg and Roger Smith join our chef co-chairs Chef Peter Kaiser and Chef Kevin Rathbun for this year’s Party in the Kitchen,” Open Hand CEO Matthew Pieper said in a press release. “Not only are they raising critical funds for our mission, they are also ushering in a new era of Open Hand as we relocate our campus to the Westside of Atlanta.”
Prior to the main event, Open Hand will host a Patron Reception for VIP guests in the organization’s new state-of-the-art Community Nutrition Campus at 6:30 p.m. on Thursday, Sept. 12. Patron tickets are $1,000 and include access to the main event. VIP patrons and sponsors will get an exclusive first look of the campus over cocktails and light bites, as well as the chance to bid on a surprise live auction item only available to those in attendance.
Proceeds raised from Party in the Kitchen support Open Hand’s programs, providing healthy home-delivered meals and nutrition education to those impacted by chronic disease, as well as homebound seniors and at-risk youth and families.
Tickets to the Party in the Kitchen’s main event are available now for $350. For more information or to purchase tickets, visit openhandatlanta.org/pitk.
