SAN DIEGO - Members of the SDSU Hockey Club (@SDSUHockey) volunteered at the 9th Annual CCS Chef Showdown on Thursday, helping put together an event that shows cooking for a cause is a recipe for success.
Aztecs Megan Thompson, Anthony Mata, Connor O'Brien, Thomas Lapp, Alex Cambas and Anthony Baldini combined to give 23 volunteer hours to the Center for Community Solutions (@CCS_SD), a San Diego non-profit dedicated to ending sexual assault, domestic violence and elder abuse. The Aztecs assisted CCS with event set-up, live auction spotting and other activities as needed.
"I had the opportunity to work with CCS in the past and knew what a great organization they are," Baldini said. "Being able to help them however we could with the Chef Showdown was an easy decision. The players who came enjoyed their time and did a good job."
The Chef Showdown was held at the NTC Promenade in Liberty Station, which provided and open environment for a lengthy list of food and spirit brands to showcase their creations. The main event, a cooking competition between talented culinary teams, stole the show with seafood plates, and silent and live auctions capped off a celebratory evening.
"This was an amazing event," Cambas said. "It was filled with great people, amazing food, and it was all for a great cause. We were extremely happy that we were able to participate and be volunteers for this event. We would love to come back and help out next year."
CCS's mission is to end relationship and sexual violence by being a catalyst for caring communities and social justice. For more information visit their website at http://www.ccssd.org.
