The spacious Barker Hangar, host to some of Los Angeles’ most exclusive events, transformed into a mini-Sin City as Dan Silberstein, President and Founder of CozmoCard, welcomed thousands of food and wine aficionados to drink, eat and play at a grand Vegas-style casino fundraiser.

“Our goal is to promote L.A.’s dining scene and introduce Angelinos to the great food, restaurants and wine around town,” he said.

In addition to sampling fabulous gourmet foods and the finest wine selections, guests also tried their luck at exciting games of blackjack, roulette, craps and poker.

A portion of the event’s proceeds benefited Step Up Women’s Network, a nationwide organization dedicated to strengthening community resources for women and girls.

Vendors Angelini Osteria, Border Grill, Ciudad, La Terza, Cha Cha Cha, Compartes Chocolate, Cookies Couture, Michael’s, Pizza Rustica, Tagine, and Summerland Winery were among many who participated.
