Chef Will's Culinary Arts Foundation 2026 Fall Fundraising Raffle: A Virginia Culinary Vineyard Experience at Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards Charlottesville VA

In November 2023, we lost our son, brother husband, friend and colleague William “Chef Will” far too soon at just 31. He was a confident Virginia state SkillsUSA champion, a Johnson & Wales University culinary school AS and BS graduate, and a Charlotte, North Carolina based executive chef. He built a career doing what he loved, cooking. Chef Will's Foundation (ChefWill.org) exists so more underrepresented kids in public schools like Will, get those same opportunities to succeed.

Enter our fundraising raffle for multiple chances to win more than $5,000 in culinary-vineyard prizes to include: private 5-course epicurean w**e dinner seats, vineyard tour and tastings, Pippin Hill Farm & Vineyards w**es and a $2,000 culinary discovery pkg grand prize!

Prize Drawing on October 19, 2026
Winners Dining Experience: November 6, 2026
