A fundraiser featuring prominent women who love to cook for a worthy cause |
|
"Women Cookin' for the Arts" is our annual fundraising event that features prominent woman leaders from Northeast Ohio who love to cook. Last year, Women Cookin' for the Arts raised over $15,000 to help support Sankofa's programs and activities! A variety of mouthwatering dishes prepared by over 30 prominent women leaders was enjoyed by all who participated; especially the male Judges who had the privilege of sampling each dish for the final awards!
