Four Square and Fine Dining

  1. Updates

Playworks' own Bill Vanark, Ellen Goodman, and Emma Rapp brought old school recess to San Francisco's culinary elite on April 29th.  At Share Our Strength's annual Taste of the Nation fundraising event in the Clubhouse at AT&T Park, we had party-goers reliving their youth on the four-square court.  Proceeds from the event went to support Playworks' programming in low-income elementary schools across San Francisco.  Featured chefs and wine sellers included Dominique Crenn of Luce, Jen Biesty of Scala’s Bistro, Hoss Zare of Zare at Fly Trap, and Elizabeth Falkner of Citizen Cake.
