RECIPE FOR REBUILDING

A collaboration of Miami and New York's hottest chefs and Delta Region Trickle Up Entrepreneurs presenting delicious Creole/Cajun Cuisine benefiting the lower Mississippi Delta.


In the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina we all watched the devastation unfold in the Gulf region. The impact of Katrina has been felt by millions well beyond the Gulf region. The responsibility of helping affected individuals rebuild their lives, communities and businesses falls to all of us.

In response, Trickle Up, a nonprofit organization working in the Delta, together with
Gourmet magazine has brought together Trickle Up entrepreneurs with
hot Miami and New York chefs
to create the 'Recipe for Rebuilding.'

We need YOU to come out and support Trickle Up entrepreneurs at the annual Benefit Bash at Megu at 62 Thomas St (between Church and W. Broadway).

Last year's benefit was a big success and great fun with 145 people coming out in support of our U.S. program.

This year we are focusing on the devastation in the U.S. Gulf region with all proceeds from our event going to the Trickle Up Lower Mississippi Delta Initiative. Trickle Up has doubled its budget for the Lower Mississippi Delta Initiative in response to the hurricanes, and the Young Associates want to make a significant contribution to this effort.

Please join us again this year to support a particularly deserving group of entrepreneurs.

Tickets: $35 in advance, $40 at the door
($25/$30 for students and nonprofit employees)
