SHARE OUR SELVES ANNOUNCES CHEF LINEUP FOR 18th ANNUAL WILD & CRAZY TACO NIGHT

Share Our Selves has confirmed the date and chef lineup for the 18th Annual Wild & Crazy Taco Night, April 28th at Halecrest Swim & Tennis Club in Costa Mesa. Twenty three of Orange County's most prominent and innovative chefs will join an expected 600+ supporters of SOS for an evening of fun, friendship, and exotic tacos.

In the spirit of good-natured competition and to support a great cause, these generous chefs will be whipping up delicious and unique tacos. Last year's selections included lobster, Peking duck, pork, meatball, and s'mores style chocolate & marshmallow cream tacos.

Back by popular demand is the pre-event VIP Party, but we've made some exciting changes! Participating guests will enjoy early admission into the event and will have the opportunity to meet all of the chefs and sample their tacos before the general event begins. VIP guests will also be served Patrón margaritas.

Proceeds from the event benefit the SOS Orange Aid Project which collects retrievable food from restaurants, grocery stores, bakeries, and caterers to distribute to low income Orange County residents. Six mornings a week, volunteer and staff drivers collect food from throughout the county and deliver it to SOS. Five days a week, SOS distributes approximately 300 bags of groceries a day to individuals and families in need.

WHEN: Thursday, April 28, 2010, 5:30 p.m. – 7:30 p.m., VIP Pre-Party 4:30 p.m. – 5:30 p.m.

WHERE: Halecrest Swim & Tennis Club – 3107 Killybrooke Lane, Costa Mesa, 92626
