The week begins Monday, June 9 with a golf outing, Wednesday June 11 has HOMEARAMA Cooks for a Cause and culminates in the Father's Day Brunch presented by Cincinnati Children's, Sunday, June 15. In addition to the signature events, restaurants and retailers throughout the city are participating with special offers and events.
"Annette and I continue to be overwhelmed with the generosity of our friends and colleagues in the community," says founder Jean-Robert de Cavel. "And this year we have the partnership of Cincinnati Children's, together with them we can make a real difference in the lives of families."
7 Days for SIDS was founded in March 2003 by Annette and Jean-Robert de Cavel after the loss of their baby daughter, Tatiana. Although the first event was initially intended as a one-night fundraiser, the outpouring of support from friends and colleagues in the restaurant community turned it into a one-week event and consequently the second largest SIDS fundraiser in the country. To date, the event has raised nearly $400,000. 7 Days for SIDS is the primary source of funding for the Sudden Infant Death Network of Ohio.
