The oil disaster in the Gulf is a national tragedy. But here’s a chance to do something about it -- right in your own kitchen. Invite your friends over for a Gumbo for the Gulf party. Gumbo for the Gulf is a chance to build awareness about the oil spill, raise funds for Gulf families and our ongoing work, and enjoy great food with friends.
Here’s how it works: When you sign up here to host a Gumbo for the Gulf party, we’ll send you everything you need -- recipes from New Orleans chefs John Besh and Susan Spicer, and information about the Gulf disaster and ways to get involved. Ask your friends to chip in with a contribution to respond to the tragedy in the Gulf. Half of the contribution will go to helping Gulf families, to make sure they get immediate aid and that their voices are heard in Washington, D.C. The other half will help fund our ongoing work to make sure a disaster like this never happens again.
To get started, sign up here to host a Gumbo for the Gulf party during the week of June 14th. Then download this sample invitation, which you can use to invite your friends.
We'll get back to you with the recipes and everything else you need to host your dinner.
