An evening celebrating festive cooking virtually is resulting in a very real-world impact for �󷢿���ƽ̨ health care students.

Season’s Eatings, a virtual cooking class and wine tasting fundraiser hosted by the �󷢿���ƽ̨ Foundation, raised $315,000 on the evening of Dec. 3, surpassing its $250,000 goal.

The virtual cooking and wine tasting class featured �󷢿���ƽ̨ Culinary and Pastry Arts instructors and their students who walked participants through how to cook a gourmet dinner consisting of mouth-watering stuffed turkey breast with cranberries and brie, warm brussels sprouts salad and potatoes pave. Quails’ Gate Winery Senior Sommelier Louise Dabisza guided participants on a tasting of three wines to pair with the meal.

“We’re still digesting what our community was able to accomplish,” says Helen Jackman, �󷢿���ƽ̨ Foundation Executive Director. “We’re so grateful for our community’s generosity. Thanks to our events sponsors and our donors who sliced, diced and donated during the event, we’re now getting closer to our $5-million fundraising goal.”
