TableArt is very proud to partner with URBN Outfitters, Inc and Talula’s Table to support the Children’s Scholarship Fund Philadelphia‘s “Campaign for 10,000 Children”.

The benefit dinner will be held this Saturday, September 24
at URBN Outfitters, Inc. located at the Philadelphia Navy Yard.

Artisanal food is quickly becoming the emerging American Meal and locavore has become the latest buzz word used to describe someone who eats food grown or produced locally.

This  incredible night will feature a sustainable “100 Mile Menu”
designed by Aimee Olexy of Talula’s Garden and Talula’s Table.

TableArt is thrilled to provide Farm to Table arrangements
for the eventing with flowers from our local vendors.

CSFPhiladelphia is a wonderful organization that currently supports 3,000 low income children with K-8th grade, four year scholarships to attend quality, low tuition schools. There are more than 200 community based schools that participate in the program. One hundred percent of every dollar donated goes directly to scholarships and the CSF National organization matches all gifts with thirty-three cents. Talented young boys and girls enjoy educational opportunities that they otherwise could not afford. For the students and their families these scholarships are truly transformational.

“We have gained widespread community support thanks to the leadership and generosity by Urban .” – Evie McNiff, CSFP President

In addition to a fabulous evening, URBN Outfitters Inc. is sponsoring an Art Auction being held from September 12th – 24th. CSFP students were given the opportunity to take a field trip to the Hayne’s farm, Doe Run for inspiration.  URBN employees then translated the children’s artwork into an original piece. The artwork is being exhibited alongside the child’s drawing and auctioned off to support Children’s Scholarship Fund Philadelphia
“Campaign for 10,000 Children”.

We are looking forward to sharing with you all the details from this incredible event.

The Great Chefs Event is an annual fundraising event that started in 2006 with Philadelphia’s greatest chefs coming together to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation in the fight against childhood cancer. The 2011 Great Chefs Event sees the addition of more international great chefs – all to support Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation for Childhood Cancer Research and the Vetri Foundation for Children.

TableArt was proud to provide brilliant yellow flowers to support this fantastic foodie event held at the Urban Outfitters Headquarters in the Navy Yard. 40 top chefs and dozens of mixologists, wineries, and breweries from around the world provided amazing, innovative tastes and delights.

This magnificent ice sculpture created by Fear No Ice dazzled everyone at the entrance.

Each chef had a station to present individual tastings. We were amazed at the creative diversity and innovative combinations of textures and flavors.

After we finished setting up flowers, we were greeted by Chef Jose Garces’s Guapo’s Taco Truck. Chef Garces graciously donated free lunch to all the volunteers. Kyra was hoping to meet Chef Garces.

Guapo’s Taco Truck serves eight varieties of Chef Garces’ popular tacos along with guacamole, tamales, quesadillas, and other Mexican treats and is available to come to any event!

Over 1,200 people attended this fantastic event!

Chef Robert Aikens, the executive chef from The Dandelion
served a delicious smoked salmon mouse on a crostini.

Look! Krya got to meet her favorite Philly chef Jose Garces of the Garces Restaurant Group. This images was quickly posted on her facebook page. Gotta love the power of social media.

Yellow was everywhere. Even the interiors of these quail eggs were bright yellow!

Chef Katsuya Fukushima of Traveling Chef is known for turning out inventive and unconventional cuisine. He superseded expectations with his creation of  ”lemonade” scallops with thai flavors topped with lemonade cotton candy.

Katsuya Fukushima and Jose Garces had quite the battle on Iron Chef.
It was amazing to be around such incredible talent all in one room.

Chef Rocco Whalen  from the Rocky River Wine Bar offered “Cleveland Nachos”.
The potatoes were thinly sliced by running them through a press powered by a hand drill.
The potatoes were deep fried and topped with a cream sauce and bacon.

Ok…so we generally don’t go to the events we participate in but
it was a blast to go and meet all of these amazing, talented chefs.

Jamie wasn’t sure of this chocolate filo dessert …It turned out to be one of our favorites.

After all those tastes and delights, a warm cup of cappacino from the La Columbe truck parked in the hallway of The Urban Outfitters headquarters was a perfect way to end the evening.

The Mann Center provides world class entertainment in a beautiful park setting.
TableArt was thrilled to be a part of the very special event held last night for
The Board of Directors to kickoff the 2011 Capital Campaign

To celebrate the “expanding the lawn and the grass renewal program”,

Adding extra seating, upgrading video screens and sounds systems
