Le Cezanne of Wyoming owners Fabrice Collot and Martine Delcroix-Collot will host a crepe party June 17.

Where to eat out for a good cause:

Starting on Friday and continuing for a week, Greater Cincinnati restaurants will participate in 7 Days for SIDS, a fund-raiser for the Sudden Infant Death Network of Ohio.

The impetus for the event comes from Jean-Robert and Annette de Cavel, who lost an infant daughter to SIDS a year ago. Originally, the de Cavels planned to put together a benefit dinner for SIDS at his restaurant, Jean-Robert at Pigall's, downtown. But, according to Jill Z. McBride, a friend of the deCavels, a bigger project took off when other restaurants wanted to get involved.

Rather than having restaurants make a specific contribution, the event is set up to allow restaurants to contribute in whatever way they want.

Events range from a $20 buffet at Cock and Bull English Pub in Covington to a $100 dinner at Carlo and Johnny in Montgomery.

Some restaurants will donate part - or all - of the proceeds from one evening. Others will have a donations box.

Here are some events that require reservations:

• Jean-Robert at Pigall's, downtown, will host a multicourse wine dinner 7 p.m. June 17 and 18. Cost: $200 per person. 721-1345.

• At Carlo and Johnny, a six- or seven-course tasting menu will be offered 8 p.m. Friday. Cost: $100 per person; 100 percent of proceeds will be donated. 936-8600.

• Dave Avolos of Chokolate Morel in Mason will designate one tapa and one bottle of wine for the benefit. Order it and the profits go to the fund-raiser. He's also putting together a wine tasting dinner for Friday and Saturday. Cost: $60 per person. 754-1146.

• Downtown at Maisonette June 16, 5 percent of all proceeds of the evening will be donated, plus you can make reservations for a special $150 tasting menu. 721-2260.
