You won’t want to miss this year’s event!
After a brief hiatus, L.E.A.F. (Lamar Educational Awards Foundation) could not be more excited to announce that in 2022, Men Who Cook is Back! Dust off those dancing shoes and join us on Saturday, February 19 at 7 p.m. at Safari Texas- Infinity Ballroom,
11627 FM 1464, Richmond, Texas 77407. Enjoy the musical talents of Ken Mondshine and the Brotherhood Band, the culinary creations of Lamar Consolidated Independent School District’s community and district staff, as well as the silent and live auction hosted by its campuses. To add a little competitive flare this year, guests will be the judges of the “Bite of the Night” contest where they will get to vote for their favorite savory & sweet treat.
Men Who Cook is one of L.E.A.F.’s major fundraisers and its success depends on the wonderful community members who so graciously volunteer their time to prepare their favorite dishes to be enjoyed by the many guests that attend this fun and tasty event!
“Like many other non-profit organizations, L.E.A.F. has been hit hard by Covid-19. It is our goal to ensure that Men Who Cook 2022 draws the same excitement and enthusiasm from the community as it has in years past, so the foundation can return to a level of grant giving that our teachers and students deserve. I’m certain that LEAF can achieve this goal with the help of wonderful “Celebrity Chefs” such as you!” stated Charles A. “Chip” Sutton, President of the L.E.A.F. Board of Directors.
Thanks to the support of our community, its business, and numerous other community
members, L.E.A.F. has been able to fund, since its founding in 2001, over $4.6 million in new and exciting educational programs for the students of Lamar CISD. The foundation’s goal is to continue to grow that number as Lamar CISD continues to be one of the fastest-growing districts in the state.
