Men Who Cook - Why do we do it?

Men Who Cook is an annual fundraising event by the Patterson Rotary. This event normally raises enough money to support 25 local non-profits, scholarships and so much of our annual giving.  The pandemic will certainly affect many in our area and we hope to once again be able to support the many more people that will be affected by this dramatic turn of events. 
 

What is the Patterson Rotary?

The Patterson Rotary is a local rotary club of over 1 million rotarians worldwide who are committed to making their neighborhood and towns a better place to live.  We have approximately 35 members in our club who volunteer to do everything from road side cleanup to put on large fundraising events.  We meet three Tuesdays a month for breakfast at the Patterson Rec Center at 7:30 AM.
All are welcome to attend and join.

What is Men Who Cook

Men Who Cook is one of Patterson Rotary's large fundraisers. It is attended by close to 300 people with 40 chefs who volunteer their time and food to raise money for many local non-profit organizations.  This year, the event has been canceled due to the pandemic so we are asking for your help and donations to support our mission.
