Annual Chiara Fundraiser 2018

Annual Evening of International Food and Wine event at Chiara Bistro

One of the biggest fundraisers that we host is our annual Evening of International Food and Wine event at Chiara Bistro. The event is always a sell-out, and we are especially grateful to the good people at both Chiara Bistro for hosting, and Roche Bros. for sponsoring the night!

Westwood Community Chest just celebrated its 6 th annual fundraising event, which was held at Chiara Bistro on January 29 th , 2018. A generous local family hosted the first event 6 yrs ago and it’s become an important community event, which quickly evolved into a collaborative effort between Roche Bros, our sponsor, and Chef LaCount, our host. We offer a big shout out to Kevin O’Brien who coordinates all the wine and represents Roche Brothers so well and of course to Chef LaCount for his generosity and good will. The food and the wine pairings are always terrific. Thank you to Chef LaCount and Roche Bros for your continuing support! It was a wonderful evening to meet and greet old friends and make some new ones.
