Big Brothers Big Sisters of St. Lucie, Indian River, and Okeechobee Counties to host 16th Annual Chocolate, Champagne, and Chefs
Big Brothers Big Sisters (BBBS) of St. Lucie, Indian River and Okeechobee Counties will host its 16th Annual Chocolate, Champagne and Chefs (CCC) event on Monday, Oct. 28 at 6 p.m. at the Quail Valley River Club in Vero Beach, Florida.
The nonprofit’s mission is to create and support one-to-one mentoring relationships that ignite the power and promise of our youth. BBBS programs are free for all participants, so fundraisers like CCC are crucial to maintaining a community that offers every opportunity for our youth to achieve their full potential.
The elegant evening will begin with cocktails, champagne and hors d’oeuvres followed by a seated dinner. Attendees will then enjoy a delicious tour of decadent chocolate desserts created by prominent local chefs. There will be a live auction, as well as raffles supported by generous local businesses and boutiques.
This year’s impressive chef lineup includes Grand Harbor Beach & Golf Club’s Executive Pastry Chef Tim Blouin, Sweet Desires Espresso Bar & Dessert Lounge Owner Brandy Buckner, A Kitchen of Her Own Founder Shari Pierce, The Flavored Fork Catering Owner Chef Matthew Piscitelli, and Quail Valley River Club’s Chef Paty Prato.
BBBS will cheerfully celebrate its 40-year anniversary and CCC Honoree of the Year Judi Miller at the event. Miller has been a dedicated supporter of BBBS for decades, serving as the nonprofit’s former CEO and a Big Sister to many Littles.
“We are so excited to have this opportunity to shower Judi with love and thanks for her many years of dedication to Big Brothers Big Sisters,” said Debbie Hawley, BBBS chief executive officer. “She is truly a defender of potential for all.”
