Taste of the Cove

SDSMF's signature fundraiser, Taste at the Cove, is a five star event that features food from San Diego's top-rated restaurants, a New York Style Runway Fashion Show, two local honorees (one in the medical field and one professional athlete) as well as silent and live auctions.
In 2009 the SDSMF honored Marshall Faulk, Pro-Football Player and Future Hall of Fame and Dr. Jerry Hizon. We would like to thank everyone for their continued support and by making the 2009 Taste At The Cove the most successful ever for the SDSMF!

“There is nothing quite like THE TASTE AT THE COVE. I have been to a lot of events in my life but what Dr. Chao does in bringing together the best of everything that our world has to offer for such a critically important cause is beyond remarkable. The setting at the La Jolla Cove is better than perfect. The food and drink exquisite. The entertainment divine. The purpose noble and inspirational. But most of all it's the people. Dr. Chao and all the others who work so tirelessly and endlessly so that others can have a chance to have their dreams come true have the unique ability to bring out the best in others all the while having the time of our lives celebrating all that is good in our world. TASTE OF THE COVE brings together a veritable Who's Who from around the globe. It is the most anticipated and spectacular event of the year. The only thing better than going ourselves is seeing the joy, happiness and satisfaction on everybody else's faces as we all head home after the most pleasurable and rewarding evening with and under the stars --always asking the question--When can we do this again ?, And why do we have to wait all the way 'til next year to have so much fun while doing such important work?”
