Fundraising Opportunities
Partnering with the Appliance Factory and Mattress Kingdom, Chef Mark proudly supports various organizations with a few being Public and Private Schools, Animal Shelters, and Medical research organizations. One of the ways Chef Mark gives back to the community is through the auction of his in-home cooking classes which are valued at $3,500. The donation of Mark’s cooking class have allowed him to raise $3,000-$9,000 to charity during each auction event.
In exchange for the donation of a cooking class, we request the following:
-Live auction item only.
-An invitation for our Local Celebrity Chef to attend the event so he can see firsthand how the auction item is represented.
-The ability to speak at the event and/or have a short video played to show the audience what they are bidding on. Our Chef has spoken at many events and is easily recognized from local television, radio, and print media.
-A mention for Appliance Factory and Mattress Kingdom in the event program.
