Funding Tomvoyage

Hey everyone,
Tom was just presented with yet another great opportunity even more notable than Florence itself. He was hand selected  to an invitation only event in New York City. His head chef in Florence chose him (out of 50 chefs) and 11 other chefs from around the world to join to join his elite kitchen team. The most special part of this is that this is an 8 day event for the James Beard Foundation, which is the most prestigious culinary institute in the world. The event will be held in October and Tom needs our help and support to fund his 2nd (once in a lifetime) opportunity. Being able to participate in this event will further boost his career in this industry. I can't think of anyone else who deserves this more than Tom.  Thank you all in advance for your love, support and generosity!
