Celebrity Chefs Tasting Luncheon & Silent Auction @ The Prime Osborn Convention Center
Mar 26 @ 10:30 AM – 1:00 PM

Auction opens at 10:30 a.m.
Luncheon 11:00 a.m.–1:00 p.m.

The Celebrity Chefs Tasting and Silent Auction is the annual fundraiser of the Salvation Army Women’s Auxiliary. Through this annual event, the Women’s Auxiliary supports the many Salvation Army programs that contribute to lasting and positive changes in the lives of those in need on Florida’s First Coast. A favorite of the Women’s Auxiliary is the funding of tuition scholarships for homeless children that reside in various downtown shelters, providing their struggling parents with peace of mind as they search for employment or undergo counseling. Other ministries that benefit from this worthy cause include the Child Development Center, Towers Center of Hope and Adult Rehabilitation Center.

The two hour event includes a Silent Auction, which raises thousands of dollars each year for special projects. Always present at the Auction are such items as artwork, collectibles, jewelry, dinners, spa treatments, sports memorabilia, weekend getaways, rounds of golf, designer accessories, and much more.

Tickets are $30, price includes free parking, the tasting event, the silent auction, and a free cookbook containing the recipes featured at the tasting.
