Gluten-free Philanthropy
June 14, 2007
The National Foundation of Celiac Awareness’ “Gluten-Free Cooking Spree” will take place on June 23rd at the Hyatt Penns Landing in Philadelphia.
Teams made up of one chef, one media personality & one doctor will compete by creating gluten-free meals that will be judged by CNN’s Heidi Collins (who has celiac), a child with celiac & a prominent doctor. Guests will get to watch the teams cook as they sample gluten-free hors-d’oeuvres. There will be a silent auction & educational materials on celiac disease.
