A Taste for Education

A Taste for Education Sponsored by SouthWest Ford

Check back in the spring for the date of the 2026 A Taste of Education event! 

This private event and fundraiser brings together up to 40 chef teams from our community and school district. Each team prepares a tasty dish and serves it in 2-ounce samples using their own recipes. Guests can try as many samples as they want and then vote for their favorite appetizer, side dish, entrée, and dessert. At the end of the night, we announce the winning chef teams.
