In 2023, the 1889 Foundation officially handed over the Chef Auction to the Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Foundation, entrusting them with the legacy’s continuation. With your generous support, this year’s Chef Auction will go to helping future generations find success in our region through the Supporting Scholars Fund (Presidential, Emerging Leader, and Destination Graduation scholarships) and other culinary scholarships.
The Chefs
We thank the local restaurants and chefs working to empower community members aiming for brighter futures for themselves, their families, and the region. Currently, the list of chefs and restaurants participating includes:
