This annual culinary-based fundraiser may sound like just another CNY food event but it’s much more than that and the menu is anything but ordinary.

“The mission and goal is very simple — it’s to eat, drink and give back,” explains Renee Duffy, co-creator of Philanthropic Foodies, a group dedicated to putting on a culinary showcase event each year to raise money and awareness for local nonprofit organizations.
