Charlie Cascio Fundraiser dinner - Tuesday September 9th 6pm

$100.00

We are happy to announce that Chef Wood and Happy Girl Kitchen are coming together to provide this intimate dinner experience to help raise funds for Charlie Cascio. Good friends and fans are coming together to create this amazing experience including those Wild West boys helping in the kitchen and Sophie from Carmel Valley Creamery with her cheeses.

Our farmer, friend, mentor, Esalen chef & true Pheonix Rising, Charlie Cascio needs help.

Charlie lost Sweetwater Farm—his home, livelihood, and dream— nine years ago to the Soberanes Fire. Since then, he's been living in a canvas yurt that was once apprentice housing. Years of cold and damp conditions have caused his health to decline. Winter is coming, and it's urgent that Charlie has a safe place to live before there's snow on the ground. His friends are stepping in to raise funds to build him a simple, fireproof home. GOFUND ME LINK HERE FOR MORE INFORMATION

Charlie has given so much to the community through his life through his amazing cooking and goat cheese. It is easy for me to want to give back!!! Chef Wood is on board as they worked together at Carmel Valley Ranch on the goat cheese project there after Charlie lost his home in a Big Sur fire. Let's help give this beautiful guy a break. In a recent conversation with Charlie he told me he has been vegetarian for 50 years - what compassion. I told him to imagine all the animals lives he has saved over that time!!!

The tickets are $100 as this is a fundraiser for Charlie. Please if you would like to even be more generous you can bring a check that night made out to Charlie Cascio for any amount. Please email me at jordan@happygirlkitchen.com if you have any questions.
