Food & Wine Extravaganza
A Fusion of Flavors Exceeds Fundraising Goal!

Held on April 20th at the Napa Rose restaurant in Disney's Grand Californian Hotel & Spa, the Anaheim Memorial Foundation's premier fundraising event– “A Fusion of Flavors”– was a major success. 164 guests were treated to a truly exclusive epicurean experience benefiting Anaheim Memorial Medical Center, beginning with a wine tasting reception and silent auction. The evening's main event featured a four-course “Presentation of Dinner,” during which several renowned chefs introduced their specially-created dishes.
Napa Rose General Manager and Sommelier Michael Jordan, CWE, presented the selected wine for each course. Celebrity chefs included Andrew Sutton, Executive Chef, Napa Rose; Robert Del Grande of Café Annie, Houston, Texas; Ryan Hardy of The Little Nell, Aspen, Colorado; and Jorge Sotelo, Executive Pastry Chef, Napa Rose.
“The generosity of our supporters was overwhelming” said Foundation Board Member and Event Chair Amy Schilling. “We were able to raise over $127,000– an increase of $40,000 from the previous year.”
Proceeds from this event supported the purchase a new breast biopsy system for Anaheim Memorial's breast center, including a state-of-the-art stereotactic table. Minimally invasive, this method of image-guided breast biopsy can be less stressful for patients and reduces risk of complications in comparison to surgical biopsy, while enabling physicians to target suspicious tissue with incredibly accuracy.
Anaheim Memorial and the Foundation extend heartfelt gratitude to our event sponsors for making A Fusion of Flavors the most successful fundraiser in recent years.
