Starlight Children's Foundation Australia
Sydney’s premier food and wine charity evening the Starlight Five Chefs dinner was a smash hit on Thursday 3rd June 2010 raising in excess of $500,000 for seriously ill kids. There were plenty of great auction items but the most popular selling for a RECORD $25,000 was the opportunity for someone to host 10 people at their home with all the food cooked by our own Martin Boetz. Martin has offered this dinner each year for the past five chefs dinners and as a result of this years stellar effort (which is double the previous best price) he has helped raise around $75,000 for the Starlight Five Chefs dinners – all on his own.
Chairman of the Sydney Five Chefs Committee Stu Gregor said “Marty’s at home dinner was far and away the most popular item auctioned all night – the bidding was ferocious, and $25,000 is more than anyone has ever paid for any chef to cook at their home. We love Longrain, Starlight loves Longrain, everyone loves Longrain."
