Events Calendar

The Education Fund’s ‘Taste of Education’ event will feature tastes of The Education Fund programs, including a Food Forest, an art gallery, a supply depot, and much more. Of particular note, the evening will bring a one-of-a-kind Food Festival, using the style of the famous “South Beach Wine & Food Festival,” and will feature tasting booths from 30 culinary program teams in our public high schools that will highlight the skill of these culinary programs in a “Tasting Pavilion” competition judged by top chefs and attendees. Winning culinary teams will receive prizes and all student culinary teams will receive grants for cookware and tools to support their schools’ culinary programs. The event also celebrates the Teach-A-Thon successes of its business professionals and teacher partners.

Up to 500 of Miami’s top corporate executives, major philanthropists, elected officials, and movers and shakers in our community will be in attendance. Guests will include CEOs and executives from Wells Fargo, World Fuel Services Corporation, Perry Ellis, Verizon, Citi, Ford Motor Company to name a few and numerous law, accounting, real-estate, and banking professionals. The evening will conclude with a celebration feting the Teach-A-Thon successes of its business professionals and teacher partners.

The Taste of Education provides sponsors with high visibility and branding opportunities for their businesses, while supporting a much needed investment in our teachers’ and in our children’s futures. Available sponsorship packages range from $2,500 to $15,000. Sapoznik Insurance, Inc., is the Signature Sponsor for the Taste of Education.
