Child Guidance Center to Recognize Whitmer Family at Gourmet Comfort Classic

The Child Guidance Center (www.child-guidance.org) will recognize Mae Whitmer, her daughter, Dr. Lori Wennstedt, and son, John Whitmer, with the 2018 Leader in Children’s Mental Health Award for their ongoing support of the organization’s mission of inspiring healthy futures for children and families through comprehensive behavioral and mental health services. This award will be presented on Friday, May 4 at the 10th Annual Gourmet Comfort Classic to be held at the Nebraska Club from 6 – 9 p.m. Individual tickets are $75 each.

The Gourmet Comfort Classic event is a chef’s competition featuring the area’s top chefs who donate food and their time as they compete to create the finest gourmet version of a classic comfort food. This year’s ‘Back to Mac’ theme recognizes the first event which featured gourmet macaroni and cheese.

The evening includes an inspiring program, silent auction, live music and much more.
