We are very excited for this year's Flavors of Fall, hosted by BostonChefs.com, City Square Associates and The Charles Hotel. Second Chances was selected as the beneficiary of this terrific event, featuring great company, and wonderful food, drink, jazz music and a silent auction. Buy your tickets early - Flavors of Fall will sell out! Tickets are available by telephone through BostonChefs.com at 617.441.8600. More information at Flavors of Fall 2009 and in the official press release (pdf).

The generous co-sponsors and featured restaurants of Flavors of Fall are organizing the event and donating the food, production and marketing costs, so all proceeds from ticket sales, event benefactors and the silent auction will fund the expansion of Second Chances' clothing donation program.
