SARATOGA SPRINGS — Big Brothers Big Sisters of the Capital Region, a non-profit mentoring program defending the potential of the local youth, hosted their Annual Chef’s Challenge on May 16. The Annual Chef’s Challenge is a battle of the taste buds as the best local chefs create culinary masterpieces who are then judged by attendees to win the People's Choice.
The event helped to raise $59,000, which will all go towards creating and sustaining matches at Skidmore College to match students with area youths. It will be up to The Adelphi Hotel to defend their winning title next year.
“I have always loved the mission of our organization but after an event like this, and seeing how many others love it too, it really makes the hard work that we do worth all the while,” said Sabrina Houser, Chief Executive Officer, Big Brothers Big Sisters. “We couldn’t be more thankful to all of the attendees and supporters who made last night’s event possible. It really will make a difference in the lives of the children we’re helping.”
