Asked about this event, John Gilpin, Pike County treasurer had this to say: “The best thing about the Chefs United Benefit Dinner is the knowledge that you are supporting the United Way of Pike County and its efforts to raise money for area human service agencies. These agencies will then fund area residents in need, and with the current economic situation they need our help now more than ever.” “This is one evening that shouldn’t be missed - it’s a night to experience delicious food, from area restaurants and re-connect with friends and acquaintances.” stated Tom Regenski of Gresham’s Chop House and UW vice president. Tickets are $55 and the evening begins at 6 p.m. This event is one of the United Way’s signature fundraiser’s. Last year the United Way funded 17 local human service agencies. Each year attendance grows as word spreads about the incredible dining experience to be enjoyed. Knowing that you are helping to raise money for a worthy cause only sweetens the experience! Appetizers and a cash bar begin at 6 p.m. and dinner begins at 7 p.m. To make the evening even more fun, there is a 50/50 raffle and a centerpiece raffle.
