Maryland Vegan Eats Presents Maryland Vegan Restaurant Week Feb 7 - Feb 23, 2020
by BWW News Desk - January 14, 2020
Maryland Vegan Eats is pleased to announce an extended Maryland Vegan Restaurant Week in Winter 2020. As more and more diners seek plant-based alternatives on restaurant menus, demand continues to increase. Nothing brings people together quite like good food. Maryland Vegan Eats wants to entice residents of the state and visitors from out of town to dine at participating establishments. Unlike a traditional restaurant week that provides a prix fixe menu, restaurants are encouraged to create a selection of items to be offered throughout the vegan weeks - because inclusivity also means affordability. As the public looks forward to Maryland Vegan Restaurant Week, the organizers anticipate diners getting excited to see the new vegan menu items. The Tennessee Titans have proven that going vegan must be all that it's cut out to be and Maryland Vegan Eats agrees. Just in time for Valentine's Day, join the celebration of the sixth edition of Maryland Vegan Restaurant Week: Vegan is For Lovers, February 7 through February 23, at restaurants throughout the City of Baltimore and surrounding areas. Participating restaurants will demonstrate their love and compassion for promoting healthier diets, reducing animal cruelty and saving the environment by offering tasty and creative vegan options on their menus. Best of all, plant-based menus will have something for every diner, vegan or otherwise. Maryland Vegan Eats is the brainchild of the Land of Kush and the Golden West Cafe. The mission of Vegan Restaurant Week is to bridge the gap by increasing the awareness, benefits and accessibility of a plant-based diet through a fun, innovative and community-based experience. Maryland Vegan Restaurant Week became an instant hit when more than 30 local Baltimore restaurants joined for the inaugural event in August of 2017. At Maryland Vegan Restaurant Week, everyone is welcome at the table. Join them. Visit www.mdveganeats.com for links to menus, locations and more info.

North County Health Services Host's 2020 Passion for Healing Gala
by BWW News Desk - January 13, 2020
North County Health Services (NCHS) will host its 3rd annual gala on April 4, 2020. The Passion for Healing 'Roaring into the 20s' Gala will take place at the beautiful Westin Carlsbad Resort & Spa. The event will feature a Roaring Twenties theme. Guests will be transported to another era from the moment they arrive. An antique Mercedes Benz and a vintage Bentley line the drive, guests will exit their cars and be greeted with a glass of champagne, as they walk the windy path to the destination they are met with themed entertainment along the way, they step into the foyer and have entered a speak-easy. Making their way to the reception they find scrumptious appetizers and drinks, a lively silent auction, and entertainment on the lawn. Finally, they see the main doors open, they see themed dancers welcoming them, they are captivated by the Ben Mallare Band, and they take their seats for what is going to be the social event of the New Year. With a goal to raise over $150,000, this signature fundraising event will support NCHS' commitment to expanding healthcare access to the medically underserved. All proceeds of the 2020 Passion for Healing Gala will support the purchase of a new, state-of-the-art, mobile medical/dental unit to serve our patients with significant barriers, most especially those with a lack of transportation. This new clinic on wheels will provide medical and dental services to the hard to reach populations throughout North San Diego County. NCHS recently completed a triannual community health needs assessment and the top concern that was regularly identified by patients, community members, social service agencies, schools, and other stakeholders was access to care. Out of all of the needs identified, access was by far the number one concern for the northern San Diego community. While NCHS has taken great strides to address our patients' access to care and the current barriers present, the findings from the needs assessment indicate that we must do more. This project will result in greater access to high quality healthcare, fewer disparities in care, and better preventive care that is timely and responsive to the needs of North San Diego County's most vulnerable residents. Additional event information: Join us for this extraordinary 'Roaring into the 20s' themed event in celebration of a time gone by and a look forward as NCHS roars into a new decade and a bright future as an innovative healthcare leader. Help NCHS make the new mobile medical/dental unit a reality! Your support will help increase our capacity to serve more individuals with the most significant barriers to healthcare access. Individual Tickets are $250 each and sponsorships start at $1,000. For more information about sponsorship and underwriting opportunities, contact: Debbie King, Director of Philanthropy, at debbie.king@nchs-health.org / 760-736-8669.
