After a year of takeout and virtual events, Chicagoland’s finest chefs will return to the historic Field Museum to recreate the legendary Grand Chefs Experience. This one-of-a-kind tasting experience will feature signature hors d’oeuvres from over 35 restaurants, fine wines and spirits, along with a culinary inspired silent auction. After the tasting, guests will move downstairs to dine with the world’s largest dinosaur, Maximo! While dining, guests will hear from our honored CF Fighter and support scientific advancements during our bid for a cure and dynamic live auction.
The celebration continues with live music, custom curated cocktails, mouth-watering pastries, and late-night bites during Nightcap—Chicago’s acclaimed after party. This year, Sue the T-Rex is planning an exclusive pre-party for Nightcap ticketholders that will be dino-mite. Throughout the evening, food will be abundant, libations will be flowing, and your support will make us one step closer to a CURE. This sponsorship supports the mission of the CF Foundation; to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care.
