TasteBuds is a unique tasting event that features talented chefs from around the Greater Pittsburgh area serving signature dishes and demonstrating the power of friendship. Chefs are paired with individuals with intellectual & developmental disabilities (IDD), who serve as sous-chefs for the evening. Guests will sample an array of culinary delights and enjoy drinks at the open bar.<\/p>\n

We also are excited to once again bring back Champion of the Year as part of our TasteBuds event, a philanthropic competition uniting inclusion leaders in our community. We are thrilled to announce that 4 Champions will be selected for 2023. At the completion of this 10-week campaign, we will crown our Champion of the Year at TasteBuds.<\/p>\n

The evening will also include live entertainment and opportunities to bid on fabulous auction items, all in support of our Friendship & Leadership Programs for individuals with IDD.<\/p>\n

Find new flavors. Meet new friends!<\/p>\n
