Cooking up style

Janessa Young, Josh Marcell and Margot Delaronde enjoyed the inaugural Cooking Up Style event benefiting Homemade Hope. More than 160 supporters enjoyed a style show and shopping event at Tootsies and raised more than $75,000. Homemade Hope Founder and Executive Director Blair Bentley Ozenbaugh introduced the crowd to the organization’s mission, to provide ongoing programming for after-school culinary classes and mentoring for at-risk children. Homemade Hope’s culinary creativity was on full display with a grand charcuterie spread prepared for guests to enjoy. Community supporters who rocked the runway in fashions from Tootsies and Festari for Men included Alex Heins, Adam Greer, Dr. Brittany Owen, Lisa Woods, Margot Delaronde and Josh Marcell, Scarlett Hankey, Ellecia Knolle, Janessa Young, Beverly Bentley, Trent Kelley, Mary Lou Pringle, Oliver Stevenson, Haniyeh Mirdamadi, Monica Patel, Michele Leal, and Brooke Bentley Gunst.
