Foodies, Families and Farmers get together for a good cause Hello,
I'm a volunteer for Purple Asparagus, a charitable organization that educates children, families and communities about healthy eating. They are hosting their 9th Annual fundraiser, which includes tastings from Chicago's leading chefs and restaurants, including Top Chef contestants, and a selection of wines, craft brews and cocktails.
The Corks & Crayons Benefit is at Greenhouse Loft, 2545 W. Diversey, Chicago, on Sunday, August 25, 2013 from 4-7 p.m. This event brings foodies of all ages together to celebrate the joys of family meals and healthy eating—all for a good cause.
There are also family-friendly activities, including a mini-farmer's market, tours of the LEED Certified Green Exchange, a photo booth, art experience by Art Muse, a magician, a silent auction and raffle prize drawing.
Tickets for “Corks & Crayons” are $75 for adults, $15 for ages 5-18. Kids under 5 are free. For more information and to buy tickets, go to
