We couldn’t have asked for a better fundraising event! What fun with awesome food and great company!

Char Zyskowski and Karen Copeland of Apple Charlotte Cooking and Catering Co. donated their time and super cheffing skills to cook the best cajun spiced meal ever. Former Apple Charlotte graduate students also helped with the food preparation. The muffeletta knocked our socks off! Yummy veggies grilled to perfection, freshly-baked chiabatta, salty olive tapenade and melted jack cheese sealed the deal. Each bite was the perfect combination of salty/sweet, soft and crunchy. Apple Charlotte also prepared red beans and rice, jambalaya, cornbread, chocolate bourbon cake and sweetened ice tea for over 30 people. WOW! Odem Corps donated wine for the event. Conbined with pefect summer weather and relaxed outdoor dining, we felt like the luckiest bunch of bike freaks on the planet :,,)

The ticket sales brought in the money to pay for our legal fees. Now, pedals2people will send the 501c3 packet off to the federal government, and we’ll be on our way!

Thanks so much to everyone who attended, participated, and donated you
