Grill for Good Cooks up $10,000 for Charities
Annual downtown festival supports local non-profit agencies
Grill for Good proved a resounding success this past weekend, as the charity event aimed to raise $6,000 and brought in more than $10,000.
“We are thrilled and grateful to all who sponsored, participated, and attended,” she said.
The annual mass cookout brings together professional and non-professional chefs, who cook their treats to raise cash for Coleman Professional Services and Family and Community Services — two non-profits that provide counseling, food pantries and other services to Kent and Portage County residents.
The non-professional chef winners from Saturday’s event were: First Place, College Creamery and Secret Cellar; Second Place, Karen Wise for her strip steak with grilled jalapeños and blue cheese (Karen is the Manager of Davey Resource Group downtown and her sponsor was Dumas Meats); Third Place, the Kent Elks Club with their pulled pork sandwiches.
