2. Make a Difference
Eat, drink, and be merry... and know your sponsorship nets bright futures for our youth and your
island. Named as a top 10 international food and wine festival, the St. Croix Food & Wine
Experience has raised $1.4 million for community programs and continues to serve as an
economic engine and industry event that draws local, national, and international attention.
Making an Impact
Partnerships with social media giant Facebook
provide an expanding base of networking for our
youth and our culinary industry. In 2013, Facebook
chefs selected two students (at right) from the St.
Croix Educational Complex's culinary program to
attend a two-week internship at Facebook. They
are now full time contracted employees at the
global media company.
For 2015, partnerships with our guest chefs have
grown into a formal internship program. Facebook
Executive Chefs will host two more interns, Sam
Choy will host an intern at his restaurant in Hawaii,
and Duff Goldman will host an intern at his world-famous
bakery, Charm City Cakes, in Baltimore.
Bright Futures
In 2014, the Experience reached the
White House when Chef Todd Gray hand
delivered an apron, signed by 60 young
chefs from Kids Cooking, to First Lady
Michelle Obama.
For 2015, Gray is back by popular
demand, focusing again on our island's
youth. This year Chef Gray, of Michelle
Obama's Chefs Move to Schools
Initiative, is joined by Chef Kevin Fonzo,
of the Emeril Foundation and The Edible
Schoolyard, and will offer a special
seminar on nutrition, using local produce,
and the art of cooking. Don't miss it!
