Save the Date - Serving up Cures 2010
11/4/10 - Serving up Cures is a high-profile social event to benefit the Muscular Dystrophy Association, where business people have the opportunity to mix and mingle while sampling some of Kansas City's locally-owned restaurants who are using ingredients from locally-owed Price Chopper stores.
The concept of Serving up Cures is to gather Kansas City's proudest culinary artisans to raise money for the research efforts of the 43 neuromuscular diseases under the MDA umbrella. Those diseases include ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease), Spinal Muscular Atrophy and Duchenne muscular dystrophy.
The evening consists of Kansas City's finest cuisine and is highlighted by a silent and live auction focused on the art of fine local dining - in the home and out of the home. Visit www.servingupcures.org for more information.
