Please Join us for our great Annual 2019 Presidents Grand Charity Scholarship Ball

Dear colleagues, members and friends; On behalf of the Professional Chefs Association of South Jersey, we are pleased to announce our 2019 President’s Charity Scholarship Ball which will be held at the new Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, NJ on Sunday, March 31st, 2019.

This fantastic culinary event is our biggest event of the year to help raise money for our Scholarship fund, the ongoing monthly Educational programs, our ‘Chef’s in Need’ fund as well as benefiting our chapter.
Your contributions also help our chapter feed the homeless at the Atlantic City Rescue Mission, give back to our Veterans as well as continue with our “Chef and Child” programs. Most of all, we are here for chefs and we need your help. The culinary team of Hard Rock Hotel & Casino promises that this year’s ball will be another fantastic culinary event.
