FROM THE CD FORUM

We’re celebrating our 25th anniversary as an organization, and tickets are live! There’s a suggested tier because it’s a fundraiser, but you can pay what you can! There are even group options and ways to donate even if you can’t come but want to support CD Forum. 

We’re reviving this cherished tradition to once again to shine a spotlight on the incredible talent of local Black chefs, restaurant owners, mixologists, and caterers. Bringing back some of the original FAA chefs from CD Forum’s past along with some fresh new entries in the line-up.

There will be raffle tickets for prizes like a $150 gift card from the Ladies Room Spa and some Tito’s Vodka merch and more! It won’t be a traditional sit-down dinner. You’ll be able to walk around the Seattle Opera Center, visit the grazing table, chat with the featured guests themselves, and hear about the history of CD Forum from our newest leadership and board members. 

Please spread the word because we want as many people to come as possible! The Seattle Opera Center will be offering discounted parking, and we suggest you take Uber, Lyft or public transit. We’ll have more information about that as the event approaches. 

We hope to see you there!
