Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) for Feeding the Gulf Coast's 19th Annual Alabama Chef Challenge – A Challenge to End Hunger
2017 Chef Challenge Overview
Chef Challenge is Feeding the Gulf Coast’s, formerly Bay Area Food Bank, fundraiser that brings together some of our area’s most celebrated chefs and restaurants for an evening of superb food and drink while they compete to win best dish of the night, live entertainment, and a vast silent auction—all in the name of ending hunger. Chef Challenge is held as a kick-‐off to Hunger Action Month (September). Hunger Action Month is a nationwide awareness campaign set forth by our corporate affiliate, Feeding America®, that educates the public about the issue of hunger and helps raise awareness about our hunger-‐relief efforts along the Central Gulf Coast.
All proceeds from the Alabama Chef Challenge will be used to support our hunger-‐relief programs and provide meals to more than 250 partner agencies throughout our 9-‐county south Alabama service area, as well as assist with our other numerous nutrition programs. It is through the generosity and support of businesses like yours that enable us to accomplish this mission.
Space is limited. Please inquire as soon as possible. We do not need to know your final dish until July 14, 2017, but a completed MOA is needed to reserve your spot. We thank you in advance for your support.
When: Thursday, August 31, 2017 Time: 6 – 9 p.m. Where: Fort Whiting Armory, 1630 S. Broad St., Mobile, AL 36605 Expected Attendance: 600+
