Showcase of Chefs

What an evening!

The Showcase of Chefs at the Hilton Akron/Fairlawn on March 7 was a huge outpouring of love. The event was held on behalf of the Halle Schmidt Scholarship Fund to benefit the students of Copley High School. As they approach graduation, they can apply for a scholarship given out each year in her name. The sold-out event filled the Grand Ballroom with over 500 of Chef Beau Schmidt’s closest friends and family and some of the most elite chef’s in the city.

The guests and the chefs had a great time trying all the different samples. The aromas of all the different food offerings were amazing and the people of this town showed up hungry and generous. The event raised approximately $70,000. Nearly everything for the evening was generously donated by the many people and businesses from The 330 — this wonderful community we call home.
