Sierra Vista Symphony’s Men Who Cook fundraiser set for March 7 at Community Innovation Center

Amanda Boyles, chairperson of the Sierra Vista Symphony Association, described the organization’s Men Who Cook fundraising event during her KWCD First Watch appearance.

Boyles said the event, scheduled for March 7 at the Community Innovation Center (4251 Enterprise Drive), pairs amateur and professional chefs who prepare dishes across categories such as appetizer, salad, entrée and dessert. Guests sample dishes and judges and a people’s-choice donation system determine category winners. "Men Who Cook is a fundraiser to support all those concerts that we do," Boyles said.

The Symphony Association provides three main concerts each year plus children’s concerts; Men Who Cook is a primary fundraiser supporting those performances and youth outreach. Boyles listed sponsors including Culver’s, Herald Review and the Fraternal Order of Police and invited community members to attend, join as members or support the Symphony’s season.

No city action or vote resulted from the segment; the remarks were event promotion and community outreach.
