Get your taste buds ready for Share Family an Community Service’s annual fundraising event, Imagine 2016, to support programs for children and families.
This one-of-a-kind evening will take place at the Hard Rock Casino Vancouver Theatre in Coquitlam on Saturday, March 5, with doors opening at 7 p.m.
The night features a tasting competition between restaurants competing in the categories of sweet and savoury, judged by guests and some of the region's most celebrated. Here's this year’s culinary line-up:
• Brown’s Socialhouse (Coquitlam Town Centre);
• Christine Catering Company;
• The Wild Fig at the Executive Plaza Hotel;
• Hard Rock Casino Vancouver;
• Mr. Mike’s Steakhouse;
• White Spot (Sunwood Square);
• and Wilbur and Sabastian’s Smokehouse and Bistro.
In addition to the fabulous tastings, this year’s entertainment will see a master chef-style cooking competition between four teams comprised of top local executive chefs and their mayoral sous chefs. This timed food challenge will have the teams creating a two-course meal from the contents of a typical Share food bank hamper.
There will also be an after-party with more delicious late-night food from Pasta Polo, a live DJ and dancing until midnight.
As well, you can bid on auction items and buy raffle tickets for a wide range of prizes.
This is one of the Tri-Cities' signature annual fundraising events. Last year, Imagine raised more than $105,000 in support of vital programs and services for more than 56,000 Tri-Cities community residents.
Tickets cost $85. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit sharesociety.ca/imagine or call 604-529-5105.
