ABOUT CULINARY INSPIRATIONS
California Youth Connection invites you to Culinary Inspiration, our 2nd Annual food, wine and spirit event celebrating California’s foster youth. Join us for this opportunity to sample and savor cuisines and wines from local chefs and restaurants. In addition, guests will also have the opportunity to indulge in tasting unique wines and spirits from all around California.
Our team of renowned chefs, who have volunteered their time and talent, will be paired with a current or former foster youth to create dishes inspired by this unique collaboration. Our Culinary Inspiration Teams will be on hand to share with guests what inspired their creative collaboration.
In addition to the incredible food and beverages and the opportunity to meet successful young leaders from the foster care system, California Youth Connection will be presenting the “Inspiration” award to a youth and a community member that has inspired great change in the state of California.
