Thursday, November 5th

The second annual Mercedez-Benz Sip & Savor Event is coming up on Thursday November 5th, an evening featuring exceptional wineries and celebrity chefs, all to support the Mission YMCA. San Francisco chefs Justine Miner (rnm restaurant), Srijith Gopinathan (Campton Place), Mattin Noblia (Iluna Basque, Top Chef), and Ryan Scott (RyanScott2Go, Top Chef) will be in attendance, plus TCHO chocolates.

There will also be a silent auction that will take place throughout the evening.

All proceeds benefit the Mission YMCA. In 2008, the Mission YMCA worked with more than 3,000 local families to provide quality before- and after-school care, healthy and safe youth and teen enrichment programs, summer camps, and social and recreational opportunities for older adults.
