Wisconsin Rapids Family Center announces 2026 Chefs for Chang

WISCONSIN RAPIDS – Wisconsin Rapids Family Center, a leading voice in ending domestic and sexual violence, has announced their second annual Chefs for Change fundraising event.
For over 40 years, Wisconsin Rapids Family Center has been a cornerstone of strength in the community, turning hope into action for those seeking safety and a fresh start. Executive Director Tricia Fancher states, “As we look toward the future of Wisconsin Rapids Family Center, we invite our community to stand with us. Your partnership ensures every individual seeking safety is met with resources, advocacy and protection.”
Chefs for Change will be an evening of impact for each attendee. The community is invited to join the movement on Thursday, Feb. 26. This year, Chefs for Change will feature a culinary competition highlighting local chefs, a delicious plated dinner, signature cocktails and a silent auction with exciting treasures that highlight our community. The evening begins at 6 p.m. with signature drinks and bidding in the silent auction, while guests indulge in savory appetizers from the competitive chefs. This year’s event will be held at Hotel Mead, 415 E Grand Ave., Wisconsin Rapids.
“I attend Chefs for Change because the positive energy brings people together in support of a truly meaningful cause,” said Wisconsin Rapids Family Center Board Member Mary Vang.
All proceeds from the event will directly benefit Wisconsin Rapids Family Center, supporting victims of domestic and sexual violence.
