Some of Santa Monica’s top chefs will be cooking up their specialties at Sur La Table next month in an effort to raise money for the fight against cancer.

The event in Santa Monica will be on Oct. 12 and will feature chef Josiah Citrin from Mélisse restaurant; Mary Sue Milliken, Susan Feniger and Jamie Covarrubias from Border Grill; Raphael Lunetta from JiRaffe and Sherry Yard from Spago Beverly Hills.

Sur La Table, a national kitchenware company that has a store at 301 Wilshire Boulevard, is partnering with KitchenAid® and Bon Appétit to host events across the country to help raise funds for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

To observe National Breast Cancer Awareness Month throughout October, Sur La Table stores will hold two-hour fundraising events called “America’s Chefs Cook for the Cure.”

The parties will include an opportunity to meet local chefs and sample signature fare from their restaurants. Guests also will enjoy fine selections from Wente Vineyards and a tea and marmalade tasting bar from the Republic of Tea.

Cookbooks written by participating chefs will be available to buy and attendees can have their books signed by the chef. (Cookbooks must be purchased at Sur La Table and accompanied by a receipt.) The event will take place between 6 p.m. to 8 p.m. Tickets for each event are $25, with 100 percent of the proceeds from ticket sales benefiting the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation.

To purchase tickets or obtain information, call (888) 478-7900 or visit www.cookforthecure.com Consumer purchases during October also can help support the cause. Sur La Table stores will feature products that will generate donations to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. As part of “Cook for the Cure,” KitchenAid will donate $50 to the foundation on sales of certain items. Through their “Sip for the Cure,” program, Republic of Tea also will support the foundation by donating money on certain sales.
