Event Details
California Youth Connection and honorary chairs San Francisco Mayor Ed Lee and the Honorary Former Mayor Willie L. Brown, Jr. invites you to Culinary Inspiration, our 3rd annual food, wine and spirit event celebrating California’s foster youth. Join us for this opportunity to sample and savor cuisines and wines from local chefs and restaurants. In addition, guests will also have the opportunity to indulge in tasting unique wines and spirits from all around California.
Our team of renowned chefs, who have volunteered their time and talent, will be paired with a current or former foster youth to create dishes inspired by this unique collaboration. Our Culinary Inspiration Teams will be on hand to share with guests what inspired their creative collaboration.
In addition to the incredible food and beverages and the opportunity to meet successful young leaders from the foster care system, California Youth Connection will be presenting the “Inspiration” award to CYC Member Jynessa Lazzaroni and community member Blanca Tumlinson because they have inspired great change in the state of California.
There will be a silent auction as well as a raffle at the event.

CYC is a youth driven organization made up of current and former foster youth whom are empowered to advocate for changes in the foster care system. They do this by educating the community about best practices and issues about the child welfare system, advocating for changes in their community and in the state, training social workers and other stakeholders about best practices, and empowering one another to become leaders.
