Live musical entertainment will be among the evening’s festivities, as will the opportunity for guests to visit with the chefs and learn more about Cuisine for Healing’s mission and its Outreach Food Program.
“We are excited to partner again with some of the best culinary talent in North Texas, and we look forward to this incredible event,” said Sue Austin, president of Cuisine for Healing. “Healthy food is a key weapon in the battle against cancer, and funds from this event will help us feed more cancer patients in need in our community!”
