RBR Student Video Helps Jersey Shore Chefs Win $10K

The video skills of two Red Bank Regional (RBR) students helped the ACF Jersey Shore Chefs Association win $10,000 for its nutritional outreach program.

On October 16, the ACF Jersey Shore Chefs Association brought elementary school students to the FoodBank of Monmouth and Ocean Counties in Neptune to teach them about food and proper nutrition on Childhood Hunger Day.

RBR students Niko Allen and Damian DeSena were on hand to video the experience for the ACF Jersey Shore Chefs Association. The association included the video as part of its submission to the American Culinary Federation Education Foundation (ACFEF) Chef & Child Foundation's regional competition, which the group won last month.

The ACF Jersey Shore Chefs Association will go on to compete in a national competition this summer and a chance at another $10,000. The money will be used to help fund future outreach events.

“Due to the hard work of all our members and partners, we are extremely happy for this award that will allow us to further address childhood obesity, nutrition and well-being along the Jersey Shore,” ACF Jersey Shore Chefs Association President Stephen Moir said in a press release.
