60 Female Chefs Support One Worthy Cause at Eat to the Beat

WHAT:             

A mecca for urban foodies who come to experience the best Ontario's culinary scene
has to offer, Eat to the Beat presented by KitchenAid is a signature event of the
Canadian Cancer Society (CCS) and is celebrating its 22nd year. It is the only event in
Canada that exclusively features the talent of 60 female chefs ? women supporting
women through the challenges that come with a breast cancer diagnosis.

Guests can enjoy specially prepared savoury and sweet dishes at 60 stations, along
with wine, beer and a selection of non-alcoholic libations from 20 of the finest beverage
purveyors set up around Roy Thomson Hall's outer lobby.

In addition to food and drink, colourful and whimsical one-of-a-kind corsets, inspired by
food and created and modelled by breast cancer survivors, women whose family and
friends have had breast cancer and volunteers have become an integral part of Eat to
the Beat.

ABOUT:

than $3.9 million since its inception. Funds raised at Eat to the Beat will be directed
towards supporting the full spectrum of breast cancer programs and services of
