How does this work?

Dates! We’ll figure out what works best for both of our schedules, but right now I have the second and fourth weekend of July, and the second and third weekend of August open. Possibly the end of May/June if the fundraiser goes gangbusters and I can choose someone early. Weekdays can work too. We’ll make it work.
Dinner is BYOB (happy to give some beverage recs). I’ll have ice and stemware and a pretty decent bar setup if you want to make your own cocktails, and if you need anything cold like juice or seltzer we can figure that out ahead of time.
I have a dog! She’s very chill and very cute and loves attention, you’ve probably seen us walking if you live in the neighborhood. I can totally put her in a separate room the whole time too, BUT if you have severe allergies or an aversion to dogs, this might not be the thing for you.
Same goes for severe food allergies - happy to work around certain limitations but ultimately this is just my home kitchen, and I cook with nuts, gluten, and all sorts of allergens regularly.
This is a very informally organized raffle-y thing for a very real and wonderful cause. Change Up itself is not involved in this dinner. Be normal about it.
You donate $25 (or more, I can’t stop you) to my fundraising page to help support Change Up Sports in Sierra Leone.
(Change Up runs a camp for girls in Sierra Leone, it rocks, there’s more info at the bottom of the page)
***(Include the words “Fairmount Supper Club” in your donation somewhere.)Near the end of May, I will pick a winner randomly.
We’ll collab on a date and a menu.
You bring five of your friends to a delicious, intimate, multi-course meal in my home.
More info on the food, the cause, and this contest are below!
Fairmount Supper Club is the pretentious name I’ve been giving to dinner parties that I have been throwing at my apartment in the beautiful Fairmount neighborhood of Philadelphia. I used to be a line cook but pretty quickly learned I had neither the skills nor the mental fortitude to commit to it, so now I have a boring office job and cook at home where nobody yells at me for dropping a bain-marie full of spatulas.
All this is to say, I’m pretty good at cooking! There’s a little gallery of pictures, I hope the tastiness of the food and the cozy vibes of my home come through.
Fairmount Supper Club
“Just, completely magical. Everything was incredible, the vibes were off the charts.”
“I’m crying, I can’t believe it, everything is so good.”
“...an extra-ordinary meal from a singularly unexpected source. ”
Change Up Sports
Change Up Sports is a Philly-based 501 (c)( 3) nonprofit focused on partnering with community centers, schools, camps, community organizations, and other nonprofits to provide fun, safe, and positive recreational and development opportunities for kids of all skill and experience levels at no cost to them or their families.
In June, I will be participating in their Softball for Success program in Freetown, Sierra Leone. In addition to providing dozens of girls with a safe space for recreation and instruction, we go well beyond this, supporting girls & women’s health initiatives, school funding, food security, housing stability, and much more. Learn more about the program here.
