Cuisine for a Cause-Appleton Restaurants Compete to Benefit Rebuilding Together Fox Valley
Top Appleton restaurants, in partnership with several area businesses, prepare for the 4th annual Cuisine for a Cause event, benefitting local non-profit, Rebuilding Together Fox Valley. The charitable organization improves local communities by offering direct assistance to homeowners in need.
—
Rebuilding Together Fox Valley is a local non-profit organization, benefitting homeowners primarily of low-income, elderly, disabled or veteran status. The group’s vision of “a safe and healthy home for every person” is facilitated by the generous efforts of more than 850 volunteers annually, and a variety of charity fundraising events throughout the year. Cuisine for a Cause is one such fundraiser that brings the Appleton area’s top restaurants together in a celebrity cook-off of sorts, with the support of many area businesses and conscientious community members.
Osorio’s Latin Fusion restaurant, winner of last year’s Cuisine for a Cause entrée competition, returns to the event in 2016 with great enthusiasm. Along with local celebrity partner, Ryan Fulcer of Coldwell Banker – The Real Estate Group, Team Osorio’s has already been working to raise funds and awareness, recently hosting a special fundraising event at the Appleton restaurant, with additional support provided by several area businesses in the form of donated goods and services.
The event will feature a four course menu, with two competing area restaurants each serving a signature dish for their respective course. Attendees then vote for their favorite dish to determine the winning dish for each course.
The four course gourmet meal is included in the ticket price. A cash bar will be available, as well.
“We had so much fun with Cuisine for a Cause last year, we can’t wait to do it again,” says Chef Liborio, “and it means a lot to all of us that we have this opportunity to use our love of great food to better this great community. We are grateful to be a part of it all.”
Finnell expounds upon Chef Liborio’s expressed gratitude, saying, “We are also very grateful to the distributors and local businesses that have helped us facilitate pre-event fund raising with donations and other forms of support; Fun Pros, Wirtz Beverage of Wisconsin, our celebrity partner, Ryan Fulcer at Coldwell Banker – The Realty Group. The list is actually quite long, and we are very appreciative, as I know Rebuilding Together Fox Valley is, too.”
“As they say,” she adds, “it takes a village. And we’re very happy to be a part of this one.”
Interested parties can contribute to Rebuilding Together Fox Valley’s community improvement efforts in a variety of ways, including financial contributions, in-kind donations and ongoing volunteer opportunities.
