About Chefs4Students.org
C4S is a not-for-profit organization founded by dedicated chefs committed to giving back to the future of the industry. Chefs from all over the world come together and raise money by booking out their restaurants for food and wine pairings along with silent auctions. It has also been funded by generous like-minded culinarians in many forms including cash and product donations for auctions, cookbook donations and more.
Without the dedicated contributions of the chefs and contributors behind the program, it would not exist.
All proceeds raised at the events, auctions or cash donations go into a fund set-up under the umbrella of the Yampa Valley Community Foundation located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This foundation over-sees all funds and disburses the money as advised at the time of grant awards. To learn more, go to http://www.yvcf.org. Chefs4Students.org and its administrators do not profit from this program.
The program is overseen by David and Pamela Nelson of Steamboat Springs, Colorado. They can be reached from the contact page at Chefs4Students.org or by mail at:
