2025 Center Annual Benefit Cook-Off

Join us for an evening of culinary delight at The Center for Whitley County Youth’s 16th Annual Cook-Off on April 24th at 6 pm (Doors open at 5:30 pm). This highly anticipated event features three talented cooking teams comprised of local restaurant and catering professionals vying for the votes of over 450 eager participants.

This year features the following three teams:

Foodology
Big Hungry BBQ
Wildwoods Grill

Attendees will have the privilege of sampling delectable three-course meals and casting their votes for the winners of coveted awards such as “Best Appetizer,” “Best Entree,” and “Best Dessert” through ballot voting.

Immerse yourself in the vibrant atmosphere complete with live music, delectable cuisine, and ample socializing opportunities with friends, neighbors, and family. This is an event you won’t want to miss, but be sure to RSVP early as capacity fills up quickly.

While the Cook-Off is free to attend, there will be an opportunity to support local students on the night of the event. Take advantage of the chance to make a difference, as each year’s event is supported by substantial matching funds, amplifying the impact of your generous contribution.

Please note that tables seat a maximum of 8 people, and childcare services are not provided. Come hungry, bring your friends, and be a part of an unforgettable evening dedicated to supporting the transformative work of The Center for Whitley County Youth.
