16th Annual Women Chefs' Show Off 
Raises Over $93,000 To Support Services
For Battered Women And Children

 

The Capital Area Family Violence Intervention Center's signature fundraising event, theWomen Chefs' Show Off, took place on March 17, 2011 at the Belle of Baton Rouge Casino & Hotel Atrium.  The event committees led by Event Chair and Board Vice-President, Sylvia Duke,  helped  CAFVIC raise over $93,000 to end domestic violence in the Capital Area.  CAFVIC is extremely proud and appreciative of the support from the Capital Area.  The generosity and spirit of those in attendance helped to make this one of the most successful events yet. 

 

Over 700 Baton Rougians participated in the silent and live auctions and sampled delicious food from over 40 of the Capital Area's premiere chefs, caterers, and restaurants.  CAFVIC extends a heartfelt  thank you to  all who contributed to this year's success. We encourage those that were not able to attend this year to mark their calendars for the 2012 event.

 

Funds raised from  The Women Chefs' Show Off   support CAFVIC's efforts to end domestic violence in the Capital Area, where everyday, 5000 women will be physcially or sexually assaulted by a current or former partner. Event proceeds support violence prevention, emergency intervention and long-term advocacy for battered women and their children. We all must remember that Love is Not Abuse and Abuse Is Not Love. It takes the whole community to come together and fight this epidemic in our society!
