Special thanks to our sponsors...

On Sunday, August 21, 2011 some of the finest chefs in Southern California joined the American Liver Foundation for our Eighth Annual Flavors of Orange County. Flavors is an intimate dining experience featuring top notch restaurants and hotels, more than sixty wine pairings and a fabulous auction.

The Fairmont Newport Beach and Executive Chef and Chef Chair, Chad Blunston hosted the evening and treated our guests and sponsors to an evening to remember! Chef Jamie Gwen, our Honorary Chair and Mistress of Ceremonies helped make the evening special!

With the support of our local restaurants and chef community, the funds we raise go toward support services, education and research funding. Flavors continues to be a favorite for those who love good food and wine. We are awed by the talent and generosity of the Flavors Chefs!

Please visit their restaurants and thank them for their wonderful support of the American Liver Foundation! Our deepest appreciation to all those who donated their time, team and talent.
