Event Overview

This year, TILF is celebrating the 21st annual Philly’s Men Are Cookin’: Philadelphia’s Premier Celebration of Taste! The Pennsylvania Convention Center, in the heart of Center City Philadelphia, will provide a stellar backdrop for our event that will be held on Saturday, November 24 2012 at 8:00 p.m. and will feature the Main Event, Silent Auction and a couple of surprises. This event historically attracts over 1,000 guests and is guaranteed to be a fantastic evening of great networking, fabulous entertainment and delicious food in support of raising funds for our scholarships and community grants.

Although the primary mission of TILF is to raise scholarship dollars for college bound students (to date over $220,000 in scholarships has been awarded), the Foundation also supports many other charities and community-based organizations in our area due to the tremendous need that exists among our local population. Some of the charities/organizations supported by the Foundation include Girls Inc., the Linda Creed Breast Cancer Foundation, the Alzheimer's Association, IVY AKAdemy, a teen mentoring program, Philabundance and Women's Way. However, we would not be able to attain such a goal without your talent, commitment and dedication!
