West Suburban Community Pantry is meeting the increasing need to fight hunger with the organization’s popular annual fundraiser, the Chefs’ Culinary Celebration on Sunday, February 25th at the Chicago Marriott Naperville. The event will feature well-known area chefs each preparing one course of a six-course meal to be enjoyed family-style. Chefs will work from a center-stage “observation kitchen” so guests can see each course finished and plated live. The evening also features a cocktail hour and wines on the table, a silent auction with electronic bidding and checkout, mission moment and paddle raise, and more.
“Proceeds from the-is event provide food and supportive services to our neighbors throughout DuPage and Will Counties. We currently serve over 9,000 adults, children, and senior citizens each month, up nearly 70% over last fiscal year. The cost and availability of nutritious and culturally preferred foods of food is an increasing challenge,” says CEO Suzanne Armato. “We are committed to meeting the need despite the challenges. That’s why this event is so important to our cause.”
Presenting Sponsor for the 12th Annual Chefs’ Culinary Challenge is Old National Bank. Platinum Sponsor is The Ann and Victor Pokorny Memorial Fund. Other leading sponsors to date include Clune Construction, Chuck and Fran Strohm and Robert F. Gergis, DDS, Ltd. Additional sponsorship opportunities are available.
