Benefit Auctioneers at Naperville CARES Celebrate 10 Years of Cuisine for a Cause

(Naperville, IL – February 27, 2013)  Naperville CARES invites the community to a fundraising event featuring over 25 of the best Naperville restaurants. The 10th Annual Cuisine for a Cause, A benefit for Naperville CARES, will be held on Saturday, April 27, 2013 at Tellabs Global Headquarters in Naperville. The event is made possible by a partnership with My Chef Catering and is presented by Invesco and Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage Charitable Foundation.

“We are very excited to be hosting the 10th Annual Cuisine for a Cause which is Naperville CARES’ biggest fundraiser of the year,” said Janet Derrick, Naperville CARES executive director, “Thanks to our generous sponsors, participating restaurants, wine and beer merchants, auction donors and guests, our first nine events have raised $860,000 to benefit the programs of Naperville CARES.  Our goal is to reach $1 million in total funds raised at our yearly Cuisine event which has become known as the largest cocktail party in Naperville.”

Cuisine for a Cause will feature samples of signature dishes from over 25 prominent Naperville restaurants, live entertainment, open bar, wine and beer tasting and auctions. New to the event this year is Art Beat Live! While using both hands and multiple brushes, painter Elliott From throws paint, choreographed to music, creating 4 foot by 5 foot canvas paintings of famous rock icons, public figures and celebrities. Also new to the event is auctioneer Keith Jones of Sayre & Jones Auctioneers, seen in BMO Harris Bank commercials, who promises to bring his unique style to the event.
