Choose Charleston

Sunday, July 8, from 6:30 - 9:30 pm in the grand ballroom of Charleston Place, a who’s who of the best chefs in Charleston will be contributing to a $150 per plate fundraiser for the nine Charleston firefighters who recently died in the line of duty.

 Not only do all proceeds benefit the families of the firemen, but those who attend will be in for an amazing night of culinary and musical delights. The 41 featured restaurants nearly run all the way through the alphabet: from Al di La to the Woodlands. Quentin Baxter & Cool John Ferguson will be entertaining. Need more? How about a live and silent auction replete with fine incentives to bid away?

 Reservations can be made through Table Maestro (843) 329-4918.

A memorial service honoring the 9 Charleston firefighters who died Monday in the line of duty has been scheduled for 10 a.m. Friday, June 22 at the North Charleston Coliseum.

The service in the coliseum will be broadcast live to the adjacent Exhibit Hall and Performing Arts Center due to the number of people expected to attend.

Firefighters from across the nation are expected to travel to Charleston to pay tribute to the 9 men.

A relief fund has been established by the City of Charleston to assist the families of the nine firefighters who lost their lives yesterday.
