HGTV’s John Gidding’s table at DINING BY DESIGN 2010
About our beneficiary: the Positive Health Program at SF General
DINING BY DESIGN, presented by DIFFA: Design Industries Foundation Fighting AIDS, in its eleventh year in San Francisco, is the most anticipated high-design charitable event, showcasing top designers who create fantastic, one-of-a-kind tabletop installations that are unveiled for two nights only.
DINING BY DESIGN in San Francisco continues to be the city's premier high-design charity event held every autumn. This year the event again takes place over two nights: the TABLE HOP & TASTE cocktail table preview party on Wednesday, November 16 and the seated GALA DINNER on Thursday, November 17. We are pleased to welcome back several veteran table sponsors and top designers and we look forward to introducing many new participants. Based on significant pre-sales of tables and early submissions of design concepts, 2011 promises to be another exciting and inspirational year of breakthrough design, culinary excellence and critical fundraising for uninsured HIV/AIDS patients.
This year's San Francisco event Co-chairs are Gary Hutton, Principle of Interior Design at Gary Hutton Design, and Ronette King, Principal of Interior Design at Gensler Architecture.
National tour spirits sponsorship is provided by Effen Vodka. Local San Francisco sponsors includes McEvoy medias 7x7 and California Home + Design magazines, NBC Bay Area television and the San Francisco Design Center.
