Join us in celebrating the generous sponsors of the Top Chef Yummie Dinner and their support of Casa Pacifica’s mission to help vulnerable children and youth.
The 12th Annual Top Chef Yummie Dinner is set to be an unforgettable evening, bringing together the region’s top chefs, fine wines and a shared commitment to helping vulnerable children and youth find healing and hope. This year’s event sold out faster than ever, a testament to our community’s belief in Casa Pacifica’s mission. But behind every great event, there are dedicated sponsors who make it all possible.
At Casa Pacifica, we provide vital mental health services to nearly 2,000 children, young adults and families every year. Events like our Top Chef Yummie Dinner raise essential funds but it’s our incredible sponsors who ensure that we can continue this life-changing work.
We extend our deepest gratitude to the generous businesses and individuals that stepped up to support this year’s event. Whether a first-time sponsor or a dedicated supporter for decades, their contributions play a vital role in carrying our mission forward.
We begin with heartfelt gratitude to The Cassar Family for once again serving as the gracious hosts of the Top Chef Yummie Dinner. Hugh and Keets Cassar have supported Casa Pacifica for more than 20 years, and their ongoing generosity continues to touch the lives of the children and youth we serve.
Michelin Star Sponsors
We extend our appreciation to Bank of America, not only for their financial support but also for the employees from their Simi Valley branch who have been volunteering at the Angels Wine, Food & Brew Festival and other Casa Pacifica events for almost ten years.
We are equally grateful to The Miller | Asher Group at Merrill Lynch, who has been a dedicated supporter of Casa Pacifica since 2020, generously sponsoring both the Top Chef Yummie Dinner and the Spotlight on Style Fashion Show.
We deeply appreciate Mark and Debbi Cassar, founders of Homelife Senior Living, supporting Casa Pacifica for over a decade. Your commitment to the most vulnerable in our community is awe-inspiring and we are grateful for your many years of support.
We would also like to welcome Northern Trust to their first Top Chef Yummie Dinner and thank them for their generous contribution to the success of this event and our ongoing work at Casa Pacifica.
Five Star Sponsors
Our Five Star sponsors play a vital role in making our events unforgettable while supporting our mission. We are deeply grateful to Timothy W. Bradley, who has been supporting Casa Pacifica for 23 consecutive years and whose impact is felt far and wide.
A heartfelt thank you also goes to Nevers, Palazzo, Packard, Wildermuth & Wynner, PC (NPW), and especially Rob Wynner, president of Casa Pacifica’s board of directors. NPW is deeply committed to supporting many nonprofits and is incredibly active in our community. Their longtime generosity is truly inspiring.
We are honored to recognize Susan Burgos, a Casa Pacifica donor since the beginning. With an incredible 35 years of donor support Susan is a founding member of the Casa Pacifica Angels Auxiliary, whose efforts helped raise the funds needed to open Casa Pacifica in 1994. To this day, Susan remains an active volunteer and donor, often on campus helping with events and parties for the children we serve. Thank you, Susan!
Epicurean Sponsors
Our deepest appreciation goes to our Epicurean Sponsors, whose generous contributions help make the Top Chef Yummie Dinner a success.
We are incredibly grateful for the ongoing support of Wildlight Entertainment, whose founder, Chad Grenier, and his wife, Dr. Sarah Grenier, have been dedicated supporters of Casa Pacifica’s fundraising events since 2018.
A heartfelt thank you to Porta-Stor, who have been supporting our fundraising events for over a decade. Their generous in-kind donation of storage space is a vital resource, ensuring that we can seamlessly organize and execute events like The Top Chef Yummie Dinner and the Angels Wine, Food & Brew Festival.
We are also incredibly thankful to Procter & Gamble, who have been supporting Casa Pacifica for 32 years. Their generous donations to both our annual fundraising campaigns and events have played a crucial role in furthering our mission.
We extend our sincere thanks to The Hopps Group at Morgan Stanley, whose support over the past 15 years has played a key role in the success of Casa Pacifica’s fundraising events. Their commitment has been invaluable in ensuring we can continue to care for children and youth facing mental health challenges.
