Chance for Life presented by The Boeing Company — one of the D.C. region’s most anticipated annual charity events — announces the culinary lineup for its Chef’s Taste Experience, curated by Taylor Gourmet co-founder Casey Patten.

The 13th annual Chance For Life event, taking place at the MGM National Harbor (101 MGM National Ave, Oxon Hill, MD) on Saturday, March 10, will feature an all-day 700-person poker tournament hosted by legendary fourteen-time World Series of Poker winner, Phil Hellmuth, followed by the Chef’s Taste Experience.

The Taste Experience will be held inside MGM National Harbor’s sprawling Theater space and will kick off with a tasting selection of world-renowned wine, local craft beer and the latest in mixology techniques and trends. Patten, Chance for life’s Culinary Chair, has hand selected a collection of award-winning chefs and mixologists for the signature event that includes:

  • Kyle Bailey, The Salt Line
  • Michael Friedman, Red Hen and All-Purpose
  • Danny Lee and Scott Drewno, Mandu and ChiKo
  • Katsuya Fukushima, Daikaya
  • Victor Albisu, Del Campo and Taco Bamba
  • Gina Chersevani, Buffalo & Bergen
  • Haidar Karoum, Chloe

In addition to the poker tournament and the Taste Experience, CFL guests will also participate in one of the D.C. area’s largest silent auctions and enjoy a high-energy, Vegas-style afterparty with a surprise live performance. One hundred percent of the proceeds from the evening directly fund vital pediatric cancer research at Children’s National Health System and the mission of Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation.

“We are proud to bring together some of the best chefs in the city for a night of great food for a great cause: benefiting children battling cancer in the fight for their lives,” says Brad Nierenberg, founder of Chance for Life. “In a city full of causes and galas, Chance for Life is different — a dynamic event experience that is unlike any other in the Washington area.”

“Expressing emotion through food is the bedrock of what my team and I do day in and day out, so having the opportunity to gather some of the best culinary folks in the city for this one-in-a-million experience with Chance for Life is simply awesome,” says Patten.

Since its founding in 2005, Chance for Life has raised more than $2.7 million for pediatric cancer research, grossing more than $750,000 in 2017 alone. Sponsors of this year’s event include Facebook, GEICO, United Bank, Comcast Sportsnet, Enterprise Holdings, National Capital Bank, The Meltzer Group and more. Tim Keating, Senior Vice President or Government Operations for Boeing, will serve as Chairman of the event.
