"Men Can Cook, the signature fundraiser for the Women’s Resource
Center of Greensboro, set a new record recently. With the support of over 50
community ‘chefs’ preparing their signature dishes, attendees participating in
a silent auction and with the support of numerous Corporate Sponsors the event
raised over $100,000.
This year’s event was held in celebration of
the agency’s 20th anniversary of service to women and families in
the community. The event included musical entertainment from both Wally West
and The Easy Greens, who played a
mixture of original and ‘old’ tunes to the delight of the crowd.
“The Women’s Resource Center is proud and
honored to have the longtime support of Chris Barbee/Oppenheimer; local men who
are ‘famous in their own kitchens’ and so many local businesses who provide an
affordable and unique shopping opportunity for our guests” said Ashley Brooks,
Executive Director.
All
proceeds from the event support the WRC’s mission: to promote the self-reliance
of women by assessing needs, providing services and acting as a gateway to
community resources. WRC is a non-profit agency which served over 9,000 women
in our community last year and provides strategic leadership through
collaboration and partnerships within the community. "
