Our Cause
The Chef Auction, with its 10+ year history of making a difference, originally began as an initiative of the 1889 Foundation. In 2023, the event entered a new chapter as the Pennsylvania Highlands Community College Foundation took over stewardship, ensuring its impactful legacy continues. Thanks to your generosity, this year’s Chef Auction will support the Supporting Scholars Fund (Presidential, Emerging Leader, and Destination Graduation scholarships), along with other culinary scholarships. Together, we can empower future generations to thrive in our region.
