Special congratulations goes to Tom Trite of Omnicare, Inc., who won the "Chef Challenge" contest. Eleven other chefs competed to raise the most dollars for the Diakon Wilderness Center using creative methods to obtain donations. Way to go, Tom! Congrats on a job well done.
Diakon thanks the following guest chefs for volunteering their time and talents to help us raise awareness and needed funds to help make a difference in the lives of youth served at the Diakon Wilderness Center. You are helping to change the future, one youth at a time.
