Alchemy Restaurant is set to host the inaugural fundraising "Front Burner Fund" event on Tuesday, June 12th from 5:30pm to midnight, featuring food tastings, beer and wine samplings, and culinary themed activities, all benefiting a charitable cause.
The fund is the first of its kind in San Diego and the newly formed 501(c)(3) non-profit will serve as a monetary benefactor to help cover emergency medical needs and healthcare costs of the independent “back of house” culinary community. The foundation will kick off its inaugural fundraising event on Tuesday, June 12th, 5:30pm to midnight at Alchemy, located at 1503 30th Street in South Park.
