The Jimmy Fund Auditorium Plaque and Chair Ceremony
November 28th, 2007

One goal for our first year was to gain some authenticity and a way to live up to our ambitious objectives. Early in the year, Dana Farber had mentioned the availability of several chairs in their recently redesigned auditorium. After donating the required $10,000, we finally met our target. The chair was inscribed with not only The I Hate Cancer name, but also the inspiration behind the foundation. The chair reads “In Honor of Stanley Blau the True Inspiration Behind IHATECANCER.ORG”. This chair represents the hard work and dedication of the foundation and its many supporters who made this possible. It also authenticates the Foundation with Dana Farber and the many future supporters who will elevate us to the next level.

Celebrity Chef Challenges
October and November 2007

The Chef Challenges in October and November were a huge success. The first battle featured Executive Chef Richard Vallante from Legal Seafood (www.legalseafoods.com) and Executive Chef Mark Ellis from the Chef’s Table (www.thechefstableonline.com). The late October evening had a Halloween theme - use of the special ingredient: pumpkin. Each chef was required to use pumpkin in their appetizer, main dish, and dessert. The fight went the distance with Chef Mark Ellis finally landing a knockout blow with his amazing dessert.

The second challenge in late November had a Thanksgiving theme and the main ingredient was cranberry. This bout featured Chef Aaron Albrecht from The Capital Grille (www.thecapitalgrille.com) and Chefs Andy McClure and Glenn Comeau from Food by FLIK/Compass Group/Nutter McClennan & Fish LLP. Again the battle was close with Andy and Glenn winning at the bell in the final round.

The evenings had a “fight night” buzz and were a sure “hit” with the crowd. A special thanks to a wonderful set up by Frankie and Gina at District and Melissa Covino’s great back drop. People are already asking about participating in next year’s main event.
