Crispus Attucks ‘Men Who Cook’ Fundraiser Returns for 12th year 

Lancaster, Pa. – The Crispus Attucks Community Center is looking for a few good male chefs.

This year marks the 12th year for the program’s annual Men Who Cook event, which will be held Sunday, June 9, from 1:30-3:30 p.m. at Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology.

Male cooking enthusiasts are invited to participate by preparing their signature dish to share with event attendees. They should bring their pre-cooked dish to Thaddeus Stevens at 12:30 p.m. the day of the event and be prepared to share 200 Costco-sized sample servings.

If you’re interested in participating as a chef or volunteering, please email Brian Nguyen, bnguyen@caplanc.org or send us a message on social media.

In addition to food, the event will feature a raffle as well as costumed performers sharing the history of Americans of African descent. Men Who Cook is being held as part of Crispus Attucks Juneteenth Celebration, which commemorates the true end of slavery in the United States.

Tickets are $20 in advance; $25 at the door. Tickets for children ages 7-12 are $5; children 6 and under are free. All event proceeds will benefit the programs and services at Crispus Attucks, a program of Community Action Partnership.
