A Culinary Evening with Walter Scheib
On Saturday, November 5, 2011, Premier Cares Foundation hosted its first annual Celebrity Chef Dinner. 130 people attended this sold-out event, featuring former executive chef of the White House, Walter Scheib, at the Poughkeepsie Tennis Club. Chef Scheib prepared a multi-course dinner featuring an evening of favorite dishes served during his 1994-2005 tenure at the White House. Carlo Citera and his team from Cosimo’s Restaurant Group did an amazing job working in tandem with Chef Scheib to cater the event. Guests were delighted with insider’s tales and culinary insights as they had the chance to be part of history and feast like the presidents. On behalf of Premier Cares Foundation, we would like to say a special “thank you” to all our sponsors and attendees for their support and enthusiasm with the event. Premier Cares Foundation is proud to announce that the evening netted over $50,000. Proceeds will be going to support the treatment of patients with prostate and colon cancer in the Hudson Valley. Please click here click here to see the menu served at this historic dinner.
2011 Prostate Walk
Thank you for participating in our 2011 Premier Cares Foundation Prostate Cancer Walk. We were thrilled to share this beautiful morning with over 700 walkers and many adorable dogs! It was moving to see so many people, from near and far, come out to show their support and enthusiasm for the mission of Premier Cares Foundation. The highlight of the event was the opportunity to meet many prostate cancer survivors, who readily shared their stories about their lives being saved by early detection and treatment, and how strong and healthy they now felt. Their positive outlook on life was palpable.
Thanks to all our our supporters, Premier Cares Foundation raised over $116,000 from the Prostate Cancer Walk, with donations still coming in! Stay tuned for our 2012 Prostate Cancer Walk date!
