Charities

Both the 2008 and the 2010 A Date with a Plate events were held to benefit The Noreen O’Neill Foundation for Melanoma Research and the work they do in conjunction with The Wistar Institute.
Our work continued in 2012 with the development of The Serenity Garden at Penn Medicine’s
Abramson Cancer Center.
To date, A Date with a Plate has raised nearly $1,000,000 in support of these fine Philadelphia-based institutions.
