Make sure to clear your schedule for Friday, February 18, 2014, from 7-10:30 p.m. For the 13th annual Taste of Chatham, an event we have sponsored for the past eight years that brings the community together to raise money to benefit Chatham schools.

This year, the event will take place at a new location, the Fairmount Country Club on Southern Boulevard in Chatham. We’re also very proud to be one of three Platinum Level Sponsors, joining in the ranks with Investors Bank and Macy’s.

As the Chatham Education Foundation of NJ was recently quoted as saying about the event, “Enjoy exciting silent auction items, new mystery auction and tricky tray baskets, including vacation and restaurant packages. Proceeds of the event will support grants to the School District of the Chatham’s for the sole purpose of enhancing educational endeavors for all.”

You can purchase your tickets on the Chatham Foundation’s website. Be sure to buy in advance for special pricing.

Advance: $100 per person

At the door: $110

Senior Citizen/School District Staff Pricing: $50

(All ticket amounts greater than $50 per person are tax deductible.)

What kind of impact could this have? Well, between 2012-2013, the Chatham Foundation provided local teachers and administrators with more than $93,000 in grants for local creative programs and special projects. The Taste of Chatham is a great way to provide Chatham Education with such funding resources.

Be sure to visit the Chatham Education website for more information about the Taste of Chatham and how you can buy a ticket.
