2023 NOTE OF GRATITUDE
An immense thank you to everyone that came out to our inaugural Soirée at the Shoreby Gala this past Friday, September 8, 2023 - with special thank you to the most inspirational and gracious emcee, Natalie Herbick! We were overwhelmed by the turn out and generosity of so many. We are floored by our final impact as together, we were able to raise over 96k! To put that into perspective, that is roughly 960 cancer fighters/family members we now can provide an immersive cooking class experience! To everyone that helped make the event a success and supported us, THANK YOU. Your love and generosity cannot be overstated.
With so much love and gratitude,
Emily Fisher, the Baab Family, and all of us from The Joe Baab Culinary Fights Cancer Foundation.
