Capital Chefs' Showcase: Our FABULOUS Chefs!

 It's no secret that Louisiana has some of the best food in the country, if not the world. So when Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge brings the area's best chefs together for Capital Chefs' Showcase each year, it's an opportunity to have an amazing culinary experience all under one roof. Not only are they masters of their craft, but these chefs donate food for 1,200+ people every year to benefit Cancer Services. Many have been participating for YEARS. We obviously could not host Showcase without them and we are incredibly thankful for their generosity. Remember that this event benefits those living with cancer right here in our community!

Thirty years ago, George Rodrigue painted the original chefs participating in the first Capital Chefs' Showcase. A signed print of that painting will be part of this year's silent auction.

The 30th Annual Capital Chefs’ Showcase: Sept. 6th!

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. 

Even though the Greater Baton Rouge community has enjoyed Showcase for the past thirty years, many don’t connect the event with Cancer Services. This is far more than an evening out - it is a way to support friends, coworkers, neighbors and family members who are living with, through and beyond cancer.

Capital Chefs' Showcase - September 8th!

Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge presents its 29^th 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.

Take Home a Piece of Camp Care!

Every year at the Capital Chefs' Showcase Silent Auction, attendees can bid on a bench painted by our Candlelighters at Camp Care.

Part of our Children's Programs, Candlelighters are children living with cancer and their siblings. For one week during the summer, they get to attend a day camp free of charge created especially for them at Cancer Services of Greater Baton Rouge. A highlight every year is getting their hands on a special convertible bench/table – who doesn’t love finger-painting? The bench then becomes part of the Silent Auction to raise money for Cancer Services to ensure the continuation of programs like Camp Care to aid those living with cancer in our community.

For more information about Camp Care, Showcase, the Silent Auction or Cancer Services, call 225-927-2273 or visit our website.
