NORTHBROOK, IL - A group of local chefs in the Chicago area is rallying support for survivors of the recent devastating wildfires in Maui. The initiative is set to take place at Prairie Grass Cafe in Northbrook on August 27, with all proceeds directed to the Hawai'i Community Foundation's Chef Hui Fund.

Led by culinary talents including Sarah Stegner of Prairie Grass Cafe and Ricky Sakoda, former chef of Merriman's in Kapalua, Maui, Randall Sabado of Coopers Hawk, Arshiya Farheen of Verznay and Sebastian White of The Evolved Network, the event aims to not only raise funds but also create awareness about the far-reaching impacts of natural disasters.
