Eagle Fund's Chefs Event is Big Success [ Photos | News Coverage ]
Six of Jackson’s top chefs came together on Nov. 21, 2008 for a one-of-a-kind evening at the historic Fairview Inn that included cocktails, music, live and silent auctions and a fantastic six course meal featuring some of their best dishes.
Chefs and the City was a benefit for the Simon Sharp Eagle Fund which raises money to support the Blair E. Batson Hospital for Children and the Boy Scouts of America—Andrew Jackson Council.
Proceeds from the inaugural event totaled more than $32,000. The Batson Hospital and Boy Scouts each received donations of more than $16,000.
As a patient at the Batson Hospital and as an Eagle Scout, Simon was an inspiration to many, courageously battling cancer while raising money to build a veterans memorial in his hometown.
Chefs and the City was a wonderful way to honor a remarkable life, support two great causes and enjoy the culinary talents of six of the city’s best chefs. Plans for the 2009 Chefs and the City event are already underway.
Special Thanks to Those Who Participated or Donated to the Event Chefs and the City would not have been possible without the help of several companies and individuals who supported our efforts every step of the way. We sincerely thank them for the help and encouragement they provided.
