Memorial Healthcare System will host its 2nd Annual Chop Challenge and Food & Wine Festival on June 1, 2022 – a fundraiser to benefit the Memorial Cancer Institute “Growing Stronger Together” campaign, as well as our cardiac and vascular, neuroscience, and other adult service lines through the Memorial Foundation.
This year's event will kick-off with a day long farmer’s market (open to the public) and culminate with a Food and Wine Festival where guests can feast on culinary tastings from area restaurants and raffles.
Memorial physicians will be the highlight of the evening's Chop Challenge, as they showcase their culinary talents in an entertaining competition. They'll create dishes using ingredients recommended by Memorial Cancer Institute dieticians that promote gut health and the prevention and survivorship of cancer.
The Chop Challenge and Food & Wine Festival will feature educational information on the relationship between a healthy gut and an improved immune system, heart health, brain health, the digestive system and prevention of cancer and cardiac disease.
