Eastern Illinois Food Bank Fundraiser Dinner

We are thrilled and honored to host a farm dinner fundraiser for the Eastern Illinois Food Bank on Sunday, October 6th. Chef Rick Bayless of Frontera Grill-Topolobamba and XOXO will be our guest chef for the day, and what a day it will be! He'll start the afternoon at 2PM with an exclusive cooking demonstration and cookbook signing, followed by a multi-course local-food, Mexican-inspired dinner at 4PM. We believe deeply in the important work that the Eastern Illinois Food Bank does to provide food for the hungry in our region. We're especially excited about the Eastern Illinois Foodbank's newest venture called "Healthy Futures." This program will tackle the insidious and unfortunately widespread issue of childhood hunger, particularly in the rural parts of our region. The program will emphasize access to fresh produce, much of it grown right here in our region.
The tickets will go on sale on our Show Clix website on August 23rd at 8AM. Tickets for the 25-person cooking demonstration are $250 per person and tickets to the dinner (65 person capacity) are $500 per person. The ticket price includes accompanying wines with the meal. $150/ticket from the cooking demonstration and $350/ticket from the dinner will be tax deductible.
We hope you will join us for an unforgettable Sunday afternoon in October on the farm. This important work of addressing childhood hunger needs your support.
