Description
Burmatown is founded by a mother and daughter who wanted to build something everlasting together. They started this journey in 2014 when the old Sea Thai location opened up. Both Jenny (mom) and Jennifer (daughter) both new to the industry decided to quit their normal jobs and take a huge risk together. Mom went through a journey in many different career paths to finally end up finding her calling in life. Creating and feeding people the food that she loves. Most of her culinary background came from home. She always loved hosting family and friends' get togethers so she could bring people together through her food. Jenny was born in Burma (Myanmar) and was raised to learn the traditional Burmese style of cooking. Through her years living in San Francisco, she also learned various other Asian cuisines, which she learned to love as well. The menu at Burmatown showcases both her traditional Burmese side, as well as her modern fusion of Asian cuisines. Daughter came from a background of working for a graphic design startup by day and bar-tending by night. She was always happy when around people. Jennifer wanted to start her career young and wanted to build a place where people could join together in one communal space. She researched day and night on how to start up a restaurant and when the perfect location showed up, took the risk and started the journey with her mom, which she considers her best friend. She now loves that she has a chance to build relationships and really get to know everyone that comes into the restaurant. Now, Jennifer and Jenny are so grateful to have this opportunity to share a handful of things: Family recipes dating back to Grandma, new innovative recipes from Mom, and building a COMMUNITY for those who enjoy food, wine, and a great time.

Additional Information
Our mission is to improve the lives of all domestic and out in the wild animals in our county! Advocates of Contra Costa County is a group that urgently formed in 2024 in response to the rising numbers of animals placed on euthanasia lists in Contra Costa County and the policies that don't go far enough to provide resources for the shelters or rescues working hard to keep our furry friends free from harm. AACCC serves as a hub to help rescue groups and volunteers, do outreach in the community as well as advocacy work educating the community and elected officials of the important needs of our county animals. We’re optimistic that all these efforts are making a huge impact on the animals but it takes time, perseverance, and of course, funding. This auction and fundraiser will be raising funds to support spay and neuter efforts of two non-profits in the county who are dedicated to helping the community. Stitch in Time Animal Rescue (STAR), a 501(c)(3) organization dedicated to providing medical intervention to injured or sick animals and saving them from neglect, abuse, preventable suffering, and unjustified euthanasia. Since its founding in 2018, STAR has provided rigorous evaluation, medical care, fostering, and adoption, STAR does everything within its power to ensure that these animals receive the compassion and futures they deserve. STAR has rescued and rehabilitated hundreds of animals, providing second chances and ongoing care for animals who would otherwise face a life of suffering and early death from injuries, illness or euthanasia at institutions that could not treat or house them. Len Welsh and the devoted board members of STAR are passionate animal advocates and have spearheaded efforts to address overcrowded shelters, rescue at-risk medically compromised animals, and find them loving homes. Community Concern 4 Cats (CC4C) is an all-volunteer cat rescue making a difference in Contra Costa County, California. They are the life line for fostering, adopting, or and spay and neuter. They are a 501(c)(3) nonprofit cat rescue organization. In the past year alone, Community Concern for Cats helped over 1,300 cats and kittens find loving homes, provided spay/neuter services for 3,300 cats, and delivered medical care to thousands of cats and kittens. The silent auction is online from November 11, 2025 starting at 11:00 a.m. and ending December 12, 2025 at 12:00 am.
