On the heels of Barbara Lynch (No. 9 Park, Menton, Sportello, Drink, The Butcher Shop, B&G Oysters, Stir) announcing the launch of the Barbara Lynch Foundation last month, the Boston-based celebrity chef is throwing her first fund-raiser. Summer Sendoff will take place August 25 at the Harbor Hotel in Provincetown.

The evening poolside party will celebrate with a pig roast with all the accoutrements - chutneys, potato salad, watermelon, pork belly slaw, along with a local tomato bar, an ice cream sundae bar and cocktails. The event, which includes a VIP cocktail hour (5-6 PM), is hosted by Lynch and her 9 at Home catering team. There’s a live auction with packages that include “Fort Point Fun” - passes to the ICA, dinner at Sportello and cocktails at Drink, as well as a “Ptown Getaway for Two” - two nights accommodations, round-trip ferry tickets from Boston to Provincetown, dinner at Ten Tables and passes for a dune tour.

(6-10 PM; $125 per person, includes two drink tickets, hors d’oeuvres, and the pig roast; VIP tickets and packages also available; to purchase, call 617-423-4200).
