Children’s Wishes is announcing Blake’s Kitchen Cook Off, a competitive cooking fundraiser to be held at Rhodes On The Pawtuxet on Thursday, July 15th from 6:30pm to 9:30pm. Contestants will cook their favorite recipes for a panel of judges led by celebrity Chef Frank Terranova.

Blake’s Kitchen honors one of our Wish kids, Blake, who loved to cook with his parents. Blake’s Kitchen Cook Off keeps his memory alive by inspiring younger generations to get creative in the kitchen.

Admission for this ticketed event is forty ($40) dollars per person and includes mezzanine or balcony seating for the Cook Off, seasonal fare during the event, and a complimentary 1-hour wine table. There will also be a cash bar. All event proceeds go toward granting Wishes for our Wish children and their families.

The Cook Off is open to ALL children between the ages of 8-18. Contestants will be split into two groups: ages 8-13 and ages 14-18. Children’s Wishes will select a total of 8 contestants after reviewing all applications and will notify the finalists accordingly. All applicants who do not make the final 8 will be eligible for one (1) free admission ticket to the event.

Cook Off participants will be competing for prizes including, but not limited to, one-on-one chef lessons, at home kitchen supplies, a cooking segment on Children’s Wishes Live!, a profile & recipe feature article in local magazines and much more!

Application deadline is 5pm EST on May 31st. Finalists will be selected and notified by 5pm EST on June 15th.
