Men Who Cook in Pink

This event brought together community members to raise awareness and support for breast and prostate cancer initiatives through a unique culinary showcase.

The “Men Who Cook in Pink” event, held at Oxon Hill High School on October 26, 2024, was part of the “Prince George’s Goes Pink” initiative. Hosted by County Executive Angela Alsobrooks and local leaders, this unique gathering brought together local male chefs, community leaders, and attendees for an afternoon of culinary creativity, awareness, and support for breast cancer survivors and research.

The event encouraged men to showcase their cooking talents, with dishes served to a standing-room-only crowd, creating a lively and engaging atmosphere focused on raising awareness about breast cancer in the community. Participants enjoyed food, learned about local resources for cancer prevention, and connected with advocates working to fight cancer’s impact within the community.
