Chef Mark is active in the community and is proud to support the following nonprofits with donations, volunteering and appearances.

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.
