The media, journalism and film department is partnering with Care to Learn for a Sept. 25 fundraiser, Cooking With Care Gala, to raise money for a second season of web series “Show-Me Chefs.”

The event will be held at 319 Event Center in downtown Springfield. It will include a multi-course meal prepared by the first season’s chefs. There will also be live entertainment, silent auctions and a chef-showdown competition. Doors open at 5:30 p.m.

Season one airs day after fundraiser

The first season featured eight local chefs who faced off in a seven-episode series to air Sept. 26 on KOZL-TV.
