We are profoundly grateful to the local chefs, restaurateurs, and beverage purveyors who bring their passion to our table. Their artistry does more than provide a meal; it fuels our mission. By sharing their talents at our events, these partners help us raise the vital funds needed to provide free transportation and support services for families navigating the challenges of childhood cancer.

What sets Harvest for Hope apart is the community it has built over more than two decades. Chefs, sommeliers, winemakers, and restaurateurs donate their time, talent, and craft because they believe in Emilio Nares Foundation’s mission. Last year, 23 culinary and beverage partners filled the room with extraordinary flavors from across San Diego and beyond. This year’s lineup continues that tradition of excellence, bringing together returning favorites and new contributors dedicated to supporting families facing childhood cancer.

“It has always been my ethic to take our giving straight to the community. If we can give our goodwill eye to eye and fork to mouth, that is the most effective way to make change.”
– Johnny Rivera, Wolf in the Woods & Hash House A Go Go

“What they created through ENF is deeply meaningful, and being part of Harvest for Hope has always felt like an honor. It reminds me that even something as simple as pouring a glass of wine can be part of something much bigger.”
– Petra Belliti, Friuli Italian Wines
