Last year, the Celebrity Chefs event attracted more than 600 people and raised over $430,000 to support the Ann Storck Center Preschool and other programs.
"At a time when governmental assistance for the Center's essential programs and services are continuously diminishing, we are relying more and more on the support of our community," said Jim McGuire, executive director for the Ann Storck Center. "We hope that this year's event will be a great success and will enable the Center to continue to provide for those it serves."
