De la O and Marko again joined hands with Easter Seals as a sponsor of the Easter Seal's Festival of Chefs held on Thursday, May 12, 2005 from 6-9:30 p.m. at the JW Marriott Hotel Miami. In its 17th year, the Festival of Chefs benefits Easter Seals Miami-Dade’s Culinary Arts Education & Training program, providing commercial food service training and a high school education to teens 16 to 22 with learning disabilities, cognitive problems, hearing impairments and cerebral palsy, many from underprivileged families.
20 of Miami's top restaurants presented a signature dish to more than 700 guests along with cocktails, wine and non-alcoholic beverages. A silent and live auction, loaded with amazing items, contributed to the event's success.
