I was proud to be a part of a Fundraiser for Chef Aaron McCargo Jr's nonprofit Play To Win!
The mission of Play To Win is to motivate and prepare males in grades 9 through 12 to embrace a set of core values and understand the importance of 21st Century skills that will contribute to enriching their path in life to become productive citizens.
Special guests included Chef Aaron McCargo JR. from Food networks "Big Daddy's House", myself, and Chef Christina Pirello from Christina Cooks who all featured our signature sliders & drinks.
We raised proceeds which went towards funding programs that will benefit the lives of Camden youth!
