Apr. 1, 2007 - Central Jersey Fund Raiser

Men Who Cook Scholarship

The ninth-annual Men Who Cook Scholarship Fundraiser will be conducted 4 p.m. April 29 at the Ukrainian Cultural Center, 135 Davidson Ave., in the Somerset section of Franklin.

The event will feature 100 volunteer chefs who will showcase their dishes as more than 500 supporters and spectators watch them cook. Some of the chefs include “Mr. Tod” of Mr. Tod's Pie Factory in Somerset, Plainfield City Councilman Harold Gibson and other civic and community leaders.

A vote on the "top chef" will follow, along with raffles.

The event is being sponsored by the Central Jersey Alumnae Chapter of Delta Sigma Theta Sorority along with the CJA Foundation, a nonprofit organization dedicated to providing charitable, educational and cultural assistance toward the betterment of communities throughout Central Jersey.

Tickets are $30 in advance and $40 at the door, with proceeds going toward the Minerva Scholars Program, which provides financial assistance to nine college-bound high-school seniors.
