2010 FRIENDS OF THE FESTIVAL DONOR PROGRAM

Culinary aficionados will appreciate and enjoy all of the perks of becoming a Friend of the Festival. Donors receive year-round invitations to “Friends-Only” parties and events. During the Festival, Friends receive VIP benefits including early access to events, discounts on retail items, a VIP gift bag and more. Best of all, Friends of the Festival support the Festival’s 501(c)(3) mission and receive a tax deduction with the program.
