As most of you seeing this will already be aware, Chef Justin Woodward passed away. A few of us are organizing a Portland celebration of life at the Evergreen (see event link for details) and there are some expenses that we need help covering.

Everything we collect here beyond our expenses will be donated directly to Ben's Friends ("a coalition of sober F&B people committed to their sobriety in an industry filled with drugs, alcohol, and stress").

Please RSVP here if you plan on attending so we can have an approximate head count.
