Award-winning Culinary Lineup for Dallas’ Annual Symphony of Chefs Fine Dining Event, Feb. 25

Feb. 12, 2013 - PRLog -- The KidLinks Foundation – a nonprofit that has been improving the emotional and physical needs of children by directly funding therapeutic music programs in North Texas for more than a decade – is hosting its third annual “Symphony of Chefs” fine dining event on February 25, 2013 at the Petroleum Club, Dallas.

Symphony of Chefs attendees will experience an evening of fine dining like no other – with renowned area chefs each preparing a five-course dinner tableside exclusively for a table of 10 guests. The chefs will create their own menu, select complementing wines, and interact with table guests while preparing their gastronomical masterpiece.

“We have an outstanding and award-winning group of chefs for this year’s Symphony of Chefs, and we are so grateful for their contribution to this worthy cause,” says Bonnie Shea, KidLinks Board Member and Co-chair for Symphony of Chefs. “The participation of these amazing chefs will go a long way toward making a big difference in thousands of little lives.”

All proceeds from the event will be used to fund several North Texas therapeutic music programs for children that are critically ill or have developmental delays. These organizations include Children’s Medical Center Music Therapy Program, SMU/Hugworks Music Therapy Program, Cook Children’s Medical Center, Ft. Worth, and Hurst-based Hugworks.
