Join us and renowned chefs and restaurants North of Boston for an this charity event to help raise money and awareness in the fight against sex trafficking. All proceeds from this fundraiser will go directly to Maiti Nepal.

Maiti Nepal is a non-profit that runs shelters, hospices, schools, border surveillances, transit and prevention homes. It is the only resource of its kind that rescues and provides shelter, assistance and sup...port for the women and children of Nepal. The average age of the girls being trafficked is 9-13 and Maiti Nepal stops an average of 4 to 5 a day from waking up in to an interminable life of rape and torture.

The doors will open at 5:45 and the tasting will be until 7:30. We will then be screening the Emmy nominated movie "The Day My God Died", a 50 minute documentary produced and narrated by Tim Robbins and Winona Ryder. Following the screening, we will hold our auction/raffle and coffee and desserts donated by Cakes by Erin will also be provided. Auction items will include hotel/dinner packages, endless gift certificates to spas & restaurants, Red Sox tickets, fine wines, artwork, and, of course, Kiki Larouge photography portrait sessions!

Presale Tickets are $45/ At the door $50

More details will be falling in to place over the next few weeks but I am posting this now so everyone can mark their calendars!

Please contact me if you can donate anything to the auction or would like to help in anyway.

Sidenote: We are forming a TEAM MAITI NEPAL to run the Tufts 10K this Columbus Day. If you are interested or know a runner who might be (only women can run this one), let me know!
