Dear Friends of Joslin,

Please join my fellow North End restaurant proprietors and me for a special event in support of a very important and personal cause—The High Hopes Fund at Joslin Diabetes Center. My son has type 1 diabetes and is a Joslin patient. For the past 14 years, Joslin has made an extremely challenging disease manageable, and has given my son the best possible quality of life. As the world-leading center in diabetes research, care and education, Joslin not only takes great care of people with diabetes like my son, but it is also working toward preventing and curing this disease.

CityFeast: Dining Out to Conquer Diabetes not only promises great food with classic North End charm and hospitality, but it also offers a wonderful opportunity to support the High Hopes Fund at Joslin. This fund allows Joslin to continue to provide unparalleled diabetes care and education, and offer hope for a world without this disease.

Best regards for a happy holiday season,

Carla Gomes

Proprietor of Antico Forno and Terramia

City Feast 2004

On Sunday, February 29, 2004.  On behalf of The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), I held a food and wine event: The Second Annual City Feast-Dining For A Cure. 

My son David was diagnosed on his first birthday and has been living with this terrible disease for the past 12 years.  Juvenile diabetes (Type 1 diabetes) is an autoimmune disease that strikes children suddenly and forces lifelong insulin dependence and long term devastating health complications.  Diabetes affects 17 million Americans and is the leading cause of blindness, kidney disease, heart disease, stroke and amputations.  INSULIN IS NOT A CURE.

The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation was formed in 1970 by parents of children with juvenile diabetes with the mission to cure diabetes and its complications through the support of research.  The JDRF is the world’s leading non-governmental, non-profit fund of diabetes research and is able to devote 85 percent of all funds raised annually to research and education.  JDRF has raised over $600 million for diabetes research; $115 million in 2001 alone.  Massachusetts is a key research hub, receiving 17% of all funds raised nationally in 2001.

    Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success!

    We look forward to the 3rd annual City Feast !

Sincerely,

Carla Gomes

City Feast 2003

On Sunday, February 9, 2003, over 150 guests attended City Feast, a first-time ever event organized by Carla Gomes, owner of Terramia and Antico Forno, who's son David was diagnosed with Type I Diabetes on his 1st B-day. City Feast was a great opportunity to enjoy the wonderful cuisine of the North End while raising needed funds for diabetes research. In addition to Terramia, five other North End restaurants participated in the event: Artu's, Bricco, Lucca, Prezza, and Sage. Attendees enjoyed a private 5-course dinner including the pairing of complimentary wines for each course at the restaurant of their choice. Besides the magnificent meal and the quiet atmosphere, guests also enjoyed a visit from Nick Boynton, Defenseman for the Boston Bruins, who also has type I Diabetes. Nick was kind enough to visit each restaurant to thank all of the guests for attending.

Thanks to the generosity of the six participating North End restaurants and Carla Gomes' dedication toward finding a cure, city Feast raised over $22,000 for JDRF! Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success!

We look forward to the 2nd annual City Feast !
