The 26th Annual Chefs’ Gourmet Dinner was a massive success! Thank you to everybody who participated on Monday, April 9th at Bingeman’s Crystal Ballroom.

This year, Chefs’ Gourmet Dinner raised an astounding $83,000 for Big Brothers Big Sisters of Waterloo Region programs!
340 attendees gathered to share an incredible evening that with a champagne reception and hors d’oeuvres, followed shortly after by a 5-course dinner (including wine), served by the top chefs and restaurants in the region. The evening included festivities throughout with live music, a silent auction, live auction, a raffle and much more.
