Attendees of The Fulfillment Fund Leadership Council’s seventh annual Taste of Summer event mingled with celebrities such as host  Jon Huertas, of “This Is Us,” frequent Food Network star Eric Greenspan and Shira Lazar, creator of “What’s Trending” on YouTube. Guests enjoyed samplings from Phorage LA, Knob Creek, Milk Jar Cookies and more. Held at Unici Casa on Saturday, July 28, the fundraiser also featured live cooking presentations by Greenspan and chef Sammy Monsour, of the New Orleans-inspired Preux & Proper in downtown Los Angeles, as well as live music and a silent auction.

Proceeds benefited the Fulfillment Fund, whose mission is to help students from under-resourced communities attend college. The Taste of Summer was organized by the Fulfillment Fund Leadership council, a network of more than 100 volunteers ages 25 to 45.
