Chefs on Stage: A Night of Good Food, Good Fun, and Community Impact

Strawberry Fields is honored to be the beneficiary of State College Magazine’s Annual Chefs on Stage event. Now in its 23rd year, this beloved tradition has raised over $1.1 million to support local nonprofits making a difference in our community. This will be our second and final year as the featured nonprofit partner, and we couldn’t be more grateful.

Chefs on Stage is a celebration of flavor, fun, and local impact. Guests enjoy happy hour tastings, a multicourse family-style dinner prepared by some of the region’s top chefs, and a lively silent and live auction, all in support of a great cause.

This year’s event takes place on Monday, September 22, 2025, at Toftrees Golf Resort. Grab your friends, treat your team, or bring your favorite foodie. Sponsorships start at $1,300 and include a reserved table for eight and other great perks.

If you’d like to learn more, or explore how you or your business can be part of this memorable evening, we’d love to hear from you. Please feel free to reach out to Jeannine at jlozier@sfionline.org or 814.234.6023, extension 103. Limited tables remain available.

This year’s event will support several of Strawberry Fields’ programs. This includes our expanded Fairweather Lodge program, which provides permanent housing and supportive services for individuals living with serious mental health challenges. Funds will also benefit Good Day Café and Scraps & Skeins, our social enterprises that offer meaningful employment opportunities to Lodge residents and individuals with disabilities within our shared community.

As we prepare for our final year as beneficiaries, we invite you to join us for this unforgettable evening and witness the impact it creates. Visit www.sfionline.org/chefsonstage to learn more.
