UPDATE April 29, 2017 / Neither gusty wind with torrential rain nor 39 degrees dampened the spirits of supporters of the 14th event, culminating with the live auction cries by Bart Darfler to wrap up “the very last Cuisine for a Cause.” Thanks to all attendees, restaurateurs and bidders in support of the mission of Loaves and Fishes CARES to keep all the programs moving forward.

The atrium at Navistar Corporate Headquarters was set for wining, dining, bidding and mingling with friends during Cuisine for a Cause 2015.

Cuisine of a Cause is made possible by a partnership with My Chef Catering, presented by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Charitable Foundation and sponsored by Energy Services.

Along with samples of the restaurants’ signature dishes, Cuisine for a Cause will feature an open bar, wine, beer and whiskey tasting, martini luge and auctions.
