The Culinary Crossroads fundraiser for History Cambridge at the Cambridge School of Culinary Arts (CSCA) was a success—we met our fundraising goal! These funds will directly support public history programs accessible to all residents of Cambridge. Thank you to all who attended!

The evening featured delicious cuisine prepared by CSCA students and a cooking demonstration by Chef Simone Montali. We heard from History Cambridge Executive Director Marieke Van Damme and Board Vice President Ed Rodley, alongside CSCA Executive Director Sean Leonard, who recounted the school’s past with delightful stories. Guests also visited the new CSCA Cafe across the street, leaving the event feeling well-fed and well-connected to the Cambridge community..

Thank you to our amazing photographer Eric Workman!

We are grateful for our event sponsors and recognize their support of community:
