Partnership with ASHE-DFW & Cuisine for Healing
|
American Society of Highway Engineers (ASHE) is a national organization with local sections. ASHE-DFW serves the DFW metroplex area.
The ASHE-DFW board of directors selected Cuisine for Healing as their charity of choice because the majority of the board members have either experienced cancer themselves and/or have had family and/or friends that had had to deal with cancer.
The event is ASHE-DFW's primary fundraising event on behalf Cuisine for Healing. Our goal is to raise $25,000 to support their mission.
Please visit ASHE-DFW website to learn more about us.

Cuisine for Healing is a local charity. Their mission is to make nutritious, delicious food readily available to people combating life-threatening diseases, while providing education about the power of eating healthy food.
In 2015, they delivered over 15,000 meals to people in Tarrant County, assisting them with improving their quality of life, and in some cases, helping cancer patients be victorious over their disease!
