November 5, 2009

Each November, A Taste for Life brings together the culinary talents of some of Denver’s best restaurant chefs and caterers for a single evening of delectable taste-testing. Guests sample gourmet appetizers, entrées, and desserts from over 20 culinary experts.

The evening will also feature a unique reverse auction in which prices begin high and are lowered every 10 minutes at the sound of a bell. Guests must decide to pay the higher price or risk losing an item to another bidder.

In 2009, A Taste for Life raised nearly $70,000 for Project Angel Heart and provided marketing opportunities for sponsors hoping to target Project Angel Heart’s high-level donors. Media exposure included Project Angel Heart printed materials, 5280 Denver's Magazine, Out Front Colorado, Westword, Channel 9 KUSA, Yelp, Metromix, KUVO 89.3, and the Denver Post, with a total market exposure of approximately 5.5 million media impressions. In 2010, sponsorship levels range from $1,000 to $10,000, and can be tailored to meet corporate or individual needs.
