Past Events

Over $ 150,000 Raised at UFC’s Inaugural Cultivate LA Event

On October 17, 2009, guests at the sold-out event sampled food, wine, beer, and other beverages in a beautiful backyard garden from Los Angeles’ top restaurants and vintners. A silent auction featured a dinner for ten at home from Wolfgang Puck Catering, an edible garden design, exclusive wines, and dinners at fabulous LA restaurants. Thank you to our wonderful vendors, auction donors, and guests for a successful event!
