“Taste of Strathmore is all about culinary exploration, fundraising, and fun,” said Taste of Strathmore CO-Chair and MHR Parent Bethany Rivera. “After a two-year hiatus due to the pandemic, we are thrilled to bring it back to the community. Not having it was detrimental, not just to the school, but for the neighborhood.”
Money raised by the event goes directly to Most Holy Rosary School’s operating budget. In the past, the event has consistently welcomed over 400 families throughout the Syracuse community and raised nearly $70,000 each year.
“We are grateful to our many sponsors, volunteers and restaurants that have committed to make the return of this fundraiser a success. Just one ticket provides access to an evening filled with delicious options. So, grab your friends, family, or your special partner and come dine with us,” encouraged Rivera.
Along with dishes like SMAC-aroni and Cheese and Chocolate Grasshopper Cupcakes, attendees will be able taste popular items provided by Swallows, Strada Mia, Coleman’s, and The Preserve.
Sponsors include Downtown Dental, O’Connor Financial Services, Dependable Disposal, Barclay Man, Grossman St. amour, and Gannon’s Isle.
