To rally support, Buccan's 2015 No Kid Hungry dinner will feature top chefs working together for one goal: to help children get the healthy food they need, every day. Chef-owner Clay Conley will work alongside three renowned guest chefs, including Zach Bell (Addison Reserve Country Club, Delray Beach), Matt Bell (South on Main, Little Rock, Arkansas), and Marcello Fiorentino (La Sirena, West Palm Beach), as they team up to serve guests a memorable multi-course dinner and wine pairing.
The seated dinner will be preceded by a cocktail and hors d'oeuvre reception and will feature guest speaker Tom Nelson, president of Share Our Strength. There will also be a live auction led by "Culinary MC," Billy Harris where guests can bid on a variety of luxury culinary and travel items.
This year, the goal is to raise as much as $100,000, says Conley, whose efforts in 2013 nearly totaled that amount to help feed children in need more than 1.5 million healthy meals. Proceeds from the event benefit No Kid Hungry's work to end childhood hunger in America.
