Heroes Who Cook 2025, Benefiting Hope House

Local "celebrities" team up with top local restaurants to compete to raise money for child abuse victims and see who can cook the best dish!

At Heroes Who Cook, event patrons sample all the gourmet creations created by our 16 celebrity + restaurant teams and vote for their favorites to determine the "People's Choice" award winners. Our panel of guest judges will conduct a blind tasting to determine the "Judges Choice" award winners. In addition to tastings of each team's featured dish, the event also includes complimentary beer, wine and cocktails; gourmet coffee creations; live music by Groovy 7; live and silent auctions; a prize punch wall and more! All 2025 Heroes Who Cook donations will be matched dollar-for-dollar up to $125,000 thanks to a generous donation from The IJN Foundation (In Jesus' Name)!
