The Children’s Home Society of Florida held its annual An Evening of Taste with Chef Matthew Medure on April 23, raising more than $75,000 to benefit children and families in Northeast Florida.

Chef Matthew Medure presented an intimate atmosphere where guests sipped, savored and socialized. As guests mingled, the Gary Starling Trio entertained the outdoor patio with live music. Guests bid on exciting auction packages and get-a-ways while learning more about how they can help build a stronger First Coast community.

The event was hosted by Dr. James and Kristi Aiello, Brian and Merry Anne Crooke, Trent and Kristen Gavazzi, The Honorable Melissa Nelson and Jason Nelson, Craig Smith, Dr. Shreena Patel, Tarik Minor, and Melanie Lawson-Minor, who also served as emcee.
