Portland’s Original Iron Chef is a benefit for Children’s Relief Nursery (CRN), a non-profit organization serving our most vulnerable residents – children birth through three who are at risk of abuse or neglect. With a flamboyant culinary cook-off between some of Oregon’s finest chefs, fabulous auction and sumptuous gourmet meal, this is an evening you’ll long remember. You’ll even get to help choose one of next year’s Celebrity Chefs via the People’s Choice Competition! The live auction offers incredible experiences you won't find anywhere else and the silent auction is filled with children's items, dining adventures and travel opportunities. It's a charity gala packed with action and frequent comedy. For more information visit www.crn4kids.org/ironchef.html.

Portland’s Original Iron Chef has become the “signature event” for Children’s Relief Nursery, raising direct support for its child abuse prevention program. CRN works with children in the first, most important years of life. Through early intervention, therapy, parent education and family support, the Nursery provides a network of services that bring hope, healing and renewed opportunities. Education for parents and relief for families under stress promote healthier solutions. We are building a community where children are safe.
