The evening began with a silent auction filled with exotic vacations, gourmet dinners, wine, jewelry and more. After, the 400 guests enjoyed a Tuscan themed dinner made with organic produce from Angel Food’s very own gardens. The evening’s toast was to award-winning actress Jane Lynch, star of “Glee” and host of “Hollywood Game Night,” for her philanthropic leadership and advocacy on behalf of local-community based charities. Giada De Laurentiis, celebrity chef and Food Network star, was also honored at the event with the organization’s first Iconic Chef Award recognizing De Laurentiis’ leadership in helping people connect delicious food with nutritious eating and a healthy lifestyle.
