Rettsyndrome.org is hosting its “L.A. Feast & Fundraiser” on Saturday, June 11 from 6 to 10 p.m. at Cafe Pinot and Maguire Gardens.

Patina Restaurant Group co-founder and master chef Joachim Splichal enlisted culinary talent from some of the best restaurants in Los Angeles and visiting chefs from renowned restaurants around the world for the event. The VIP dinner party for gourmet connoisseurs will include a live auction, raffle and entertainment.

The dinner raises funding and support to fight Rett syndrome, a postnatal neurological disorder that is first recognized in infancy. It almost always affects girls, but rarely occurs in boys. Rett syndrome affects all ethnic groups and occurs worldwide in one out of every 10,000 female births. It causes problems in portions of the brain that control cognitive, sensory, emotional, motor and autonomic function. It can affect learning, speech, sensory sensations, mood, movement, breathing, cardiac function and even chewing, swallowing and digestion.

Rettsyndrome.org’s mission is to accelerate full spectrum research to cure Rett syndrome and empower families with knowledge and connectivity. Proceeds from the dinner will benefit the Rett Syndrome Clinic at Children’s Hospital Los Angeles and will help fund research, treatments and clinical trials. Cafe Pinot and Maguire Gardens are located at 700 W. Fifth St. For information, visit www.rettsyndrome.org.
