Final figures have been tallied following this month’s Parade of Chefs.
The annual fundraiser for the Foundation of Chatham-Kent Health Alliance brought in a record $62,600.
Over 340 people took part in the 16th annual dinner, held at the Bradley Convention Centre.
Local physicians served wine throughout the evening, garnering nearly $13,000 in tips.
Another $17,000 was raised during the live auction, hosted by 99.1’s Jay Smith.
All proceeds benefit the Foundation’s diagnostic imaging equipment renewal campaign.
“What a fabulous and delicious way to bring together the community for local healthcare,” said Mary Lou Crowley, Executive Director, Foundation of CKHA. “The energy from the crowd, the chefs and Chef Michael Hunter was unbelievable. We are very grateful for the support of this year’s event as we kicked off our efforts to raise the final one million dollars needed to complete the DI Equipment Renewal Campaign.”
Last year’s Parade of Chefs brought in around $40,000.
