Summit League Hosts Garden Party Benefit for Loaves & Fishes

On May 28, Summit League hosted its fabulous biennial fundraiser, “A Day in the Garden with Friends,” featuring a special one-on-one conversation with Bay Area celebrity chef and restaurateur Tyler Florence. The benefit, held in support of Loaves & Fishes Family Kitchen, took advantage of the gorgeous spring weather with an open Marketplace filled with artisan-made gifts and homegoods from 20-plus local vendors. The lucky guests–over 400 strong–converged on the grounds of the Montalvo Arts Center to nibble pastries and sip fresh juices before settling in to hear Chef Florence in a lively conversation about his wide-ranging career. 

Proceeds from this event will contribute to improving and maintaining the fleet of essential meal distribution trucks Loaves & Fishes uses to deliver food for families, seniors and to those that require medically prescribed meals. Additionally, a portion of monies raised at A Day in the Garden with Friends will benefit Summit League’s Community Giving Fund, which meets urgent and unexpected needs throughout the Santa Clara County community.
