IRVINE, Calif. - Nov. 5, 2013 - PRLog -- Wells Fargo and Disneyland Resort are partnering for an innovative culinary event that will help end homelessness in Orange County.  Both corporations have committed to underwrite the highly anticipated annual Table for Ten culinary extravaganza. All proceeds from the event go to Illumination Foundation, a nonprofit working to end the cycle of homelessness in Orange County. The Wells Fargo's Table for Ten, Presented by Disneyland Resort event will be held March 23, 2014, at the Grand Ballroom of Disney’s Grand Californian Hotel & Spa. At the event, 25 of Orange County’s top chefs will come together to compose masterpiece signature dishes prepared tableside for tables of 10 guests.

“We are thrilled to see Wells Fargo and Disneyland come together to support homeless. It is wonderful to see some of the most prestigious restaurants in the Southland, come together to help end the cycle of homelessness,” said Paul Leon, founder, Illumination Foundation. “Orange County is perceived as an upscale, high-income community, but many people do not realize there is a huge population of unstably housed and homeless families in Orange County.”

The 2013 Table for Ten event was the first year the Illumination Foundation was involved.  Over $334,000 was raised, which helped the charity provide long-term housing for homeless and low-income Orange County families.

At the 2014 Table for Ten, top chefs will create awe-inspiring cuisine fit for royalty.  Each course will be exquisitely paired with fine wines and five-star, white glove service.  The evening will also include an indulgent cocktail reception, where guests can mingle with the chefs, as well as bid on live and silent auctions for the “Best of Our Chefs” dining experiences, luxury goods, and vacation packages to some of the world’s finest resorts.
