Capital Chefs' Showcase - September 8th!

Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge presents its 29th Annual Capital Chefs’ Showcase on Thurs., Sept. 8, 2011. This year’s theme is “Our Vision is Crystal Clear” as we celebrate over 50 years of catering to the body, mind and spirit of cancer survivors in the Baton Rouge area.

The event features 26 of our area’s top restaurants, chefs and caterers in a night of gourmet food, fun and more to support Cancer Services and those living with, through and beyond cancer in our community.

“The Showcase is truly a fantastic way to donate to Cancer Services and have an incredible night in return,” said Development Director, Cindy Macha. “The atmosphere is amazing! The food is out of this world, the silent auction items are exquisite and the best part is that you are directly helping those affected by cancer in this community.”

The event will take place at 7 p.m. at the Crowne Plaza Hotel in Baton Rouge. LSU Baseball Coach Paul Mainieri and his wife Karen are again serving as the Honorary Chair couple of the night.

There will even be three screens airing the Saints vs. Packers game for guests to watch while enjoying the food, open bar and HUGE silent auction. In addition, a Lee Michaels “Champagne and Shopping Extravaganza” raffle will take place. This year’s prize is a $4,000 shopping spree at their store! There are only 300 raffle tickets available at $50 a ticket. Tickets to the Showcase are $100 each.

There is still time to purchase sponsorships and tickets! Contact Cindy Macha at Cancer Services at 225.927.2273.
