Purses for Power – National Arthritis Foundation Charity Event

Tuesday, December 18th, 2012

We were really proud when Chris Laich Music Services was asked to participate in the first annual DC Purses with Power charity event to benefit the Arthritis Foundation. The event took place on November 8, 2012 at the modern Haworth Showroom at Terrell Place (Penn Quarter, DC). The night featured a silent auction, led by host Omarosa Manigault. Omarosa did a fantastic job encouraging attendees to purchase auction items, which included designer purses, jewelry, and a special makeover sponsored by Paul Wharton from WDCW DC50tv.

Washingtonian Best of Party – 2012!

Wednesday, July 25th, 2012

2012’s Best of Washingtonian party was just over a week ago and boy was it a doozy! We’re so proud Chris Laich Music Services was asked to deejay such an amazing event again. Not only is it a great time, but the proceeds go to the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which is something we can definitely get behind!

This year, Jamie Sears and her team at Simply Chic Events planned the whole affair, and they did an incredible job. With over 2000 attendees, 50 restaurants, décor, and all the nitty-gritty details that go along with them, this is one event that takes not just skill but also some serious serenity to execute. And Simply Chic did so in their trademark phenomenal fashion!

See the entire carnival-themed event (and all the amazing food, drink, and vendors) in the Washingtonian’s Best of 2012 gallery.

At the Heart’s Delight Wine Tasting and Auction, event guests, winemakers, and chefs gather to enjoy fine food and wine, attend seminars on epicurean trends, and bid.

Capital Food Fight: Top Chef, DC Style

Wednesday, November 18th, 2009

We were proud when Chris Laich Music Services was asked to participate in The Capital Food Fight 2009, benefiting DC Central Kitchen, on November 11th. Not as chefs, of course, but to provide music.

The DC Central Food kitchen is a very forward thinking charity, raising the concept of “a soup kitchen” to the next level. The DC Central Food Kitchen acts as a central location for the DC area’s unused food, which is prepared into meals that are then delivered to social service agencies for distribution. Additionally, the DC Central Food Kitchen trains and educates homeless men and women about the food service industry, providing not just sustenance but also opportunity.

Hosted by Chef José Andrés, Chef Anthony Bourdain, and Washington Capitals owner Ted Leonsis, the Capital Food Fight “brings the food industry’s best talent together to support DC Central Kitchen’s unique brand of community empowerment. Dozens of hot restaurants serve signature dishes to guests while top chefs battle on-stage.”

As fans of Top Chef and Iron Chef, it was both exciting and an honor to be a part of an event benefiting a charity with such a strong and progressive focus on building a better community.
