Four Chefs for Success for Kids
09/15/2010 - By Miami Beach, FL

Four Chefs for Success for Kids

Miami – Last year, South Florida experienced some of the most extreme cases of bullying across the nation including two brutal attacks at Deerfield Beach Middle School.

Looking ahead to a new school year and a clean slate, organizations like Success For Kids, a 501(C)(3) nonprofit organization, are rallying to help to empower at-risk children and adolescents to become resilient, productive citizens with the hopes of reducing what has become an epidemic of cruel behavior among today’s youth. While SFK has been able to reach 1200 children and adolescents, there are still thousands in South Florida alone who could use the skills taught by this invaluable organization. In order to raise funds to increase their reach, SFK, together with Chef Douglas Rodriguez, hosted the Four Chefs for Success for Kids benefit night at Rodriguez’s brand new restaurant, De Rodriguez Ocean, on September 15th, 2010.

The Four Chefs for Success for Kids benefit featured some of Miami’s top chefs serving up their signature dishes. Miami’s elite were invited to take in the gorgeous ocean views at De Rodriguez Ocean, while sampling these chef’s exquisite dishes and learning about SFK through conversation and interactive demonstrations by SFK teachers. Guests also took part in Heart Art- an SFK activity done in the classroom with students that teaches the power of words, the importance of choosing the right words to encourage positive communication and relationships. One school where SFK has implemented their program is Auburndale Elementary, whose Principal Ms. L. Salazar will be in attendance to share her experiences. This event is a kickoff of sorts, leading up for the SFK 5K Run for Success on December 5th, 2010 in Aventura Circle.

Alongside Chef Douglas Rodriguez, featured chefs included Andrea Curto Randazzo, recent contestant on Bravo’s Top Chef: Washington DC and owner of Talula and The Water Club, and Timon Balloo of SUGARCANE raw bar grill and Tim Andriola of Timo Restaurant & Bar. SFK also sold raffle tickets for the chance to win a limited edition 2011 SmartCar. Guests also enjoyed signature drinks.
