Defender Kyle Hartigan was named king of the kitchen in the ‘Georges on Waymouth’ Crows Cook Off this week.

Hartigan came up against Brodie Smith, Richard Douglas and reigning champ Nathan van Berlo in the cooking competition to raise funds for the Crows Children’s Foundation.

The players were judged on their ability to assist the city restaurant’s chefs to prepare and plate up the entrée and dessert dishes for the evening and present welcome cocktails.

The event, which also included an auction, was attended by 45 people and raised close to $20,000 for the Foundation which supports children in need.

The fundraising total couldn’t have been reached without the generous support of ‘Hall of Fame’ award winning restaurant, George’s on Waymouth.

In 2016 the Crows Children’s Foundation will donate almost $120,000 to children’s charities including Autism Spectrum Australia, the Women’s & Children’s Hospital Foundation, the Childhood Cancer Association and The Salvation Army.

In October each year, the Foundation calls for grant submissions from children’s charities for support in the following season, please click here for further details.
