An Event For Blue Ridge CASA for Children
Join us this year for one of Harrisonburg’s signature annual events—Top Chef Harrisonburg! The event hosts a friendly competition amongst Chefs from popular local Harrisonburg restaurants, with the winning Chef receiving the title of “Top Chef Harrisonburg”. Votes will be tallied from both event attendees and a judge’s panel.
100% of event proceeds will go to Blue Ridge CASA to advocate for the abused and neglected children in our community. Blue Ridge CASA is a 501(c)3 nonprofit agency which trains community volunteers to advocate for local children who have been abused or neglected. The proceeds provide funding for a full-time advocate manager for the Harrisonburg-Rockingham area. This staff person recruits, trains, and supervises the volunteer advocates. The advocates work directly for Judge O’Donnell in the Juvenile & Domestic Relations Court of Harrisonburg & Rockingham County. For CASA staff and volunteers, the ultimate goal is to help ensure that these children in protective care find safe, permanent homes where they can thrive.
Each Chef will be making one dish. The chefs have full discretion regarding the dishes they prepare. Therefore, we cannot guarantee dietary restrictions will be accommodated. Known allergen information will be available the evening of.
