In the 1980s, Cancer Services started its signature fundraiser as a two-day cooking demonstration. Thirty years later Capital Chefs’ Showcase has grown to one of the largest, most anticipated and most imitated events of the year. The night has always been one filled with great food, spectacular silent auction shopping and up-beat music; this year we’re adding to the festivities to mark this special anniversary. Help us celebrate and improve life for those living with cancer on Thursday, September 6th at 6:30 p.m.Moving the event to the Baton Rouge River Center we’re able to host 30 chefs, inviting new participants from our waiting list. These chefs donate their time and food to provide delicious cuisine to more than 1,200 people ---- all to help Cancer Services with their mission to improve life for those living with cancer in the Greater Baton Rouge area. This event could not happen without their incredible support and generosity.
We’re so pleased to welcome our honorary co-chairs. Longtime supporters and friends to Cancer Services, LSU Baseball Coach Paul Mainieri and his wife Karen are being joined by cancer survivor Louisiana’s Lieutenant Governor, Jay Dardenne and his wife Cathy. Dardenne was diagnosed with non-aggressive prostate cancer during a routine check-up in 2011 and had surgery in November.
