The Elevated Table

You're invited to the return of The Elevated Table, a benefit dinner for the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience.

Join us for an evening of amazing local food, beautiful scenery, and cheerful community on July 18, 2024 at 5pm.  

The Elevated Table serves as a significant fundraiser for the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience, fueling our efforts to transform the regional food system to increase our community's resilience to the challenges of climate change.

In the field at the beautiful Squash Blossom Farm in Bellevue, you will sample four courses prepared by chefs deeply rooted in our local food system. The chefs for the evening include Ann and Scott Mason of Ketchum Grill, Enoteca, and Mason Family Provisions, Julie Johnson of NourishMe, Chris and Simone Kastner of CK's Real Food, and Callie and Maeme Rasberry of Rasberry's Bistro & Catering. Each course will be expertly paired with wines from Holesinsky Vineyard and Winery.

This year's meal will be followed by a live auction and paddle up featuring items generously provided by individuals and businesses. See below for a full list. The Elevated Table and live auction serve as fundraisers for the Sun Valley Institute for Resilience, supporting our efforts to transform the regional food system and enhance our community's resilience to climate change.
