Since the 1990 inception of La Grande Affaire (a trademark of our foundation), this annual black-tie gala has celebrated the best of France's gourmet cuisines and wines while raising funds for priority needs of California Hospital Medical Center.
Following a cocktail reception, guests enjoy an extraordinary five-course culinary experience with a professionally selected wine accompanying each course.
Held each fall on the third Thursday of November, this distinctive event--which also features silent and live auctions, an opportunity drawing and live musical entertainment--draws more than 500 of Los Angeles' top business and community leaders.
This year's gala is scheduled for November 18, 2010, with a theme of "An Evening in Paris." The event will take place in the Diamond Ballroom of the new JW Marriott Los Angeles at L.A. LIVE. Proceeds benefit the When Seconds Count campaign to raise funds for the Trauma and Emergency Center expansion and renovation. You can download a pdf of the save-the-date postcard by clicking here.
