Savor the Flavor- Get your Tickets Today!

The Southwestern New York Chapter of the American Red Cross invites everyone to join us once again at an exciting, fun-filled occasion where restaurants and food service businesses are invited to put their signature cuisines on display and out for the public to enjoy. 

This is an exciting opportunity for our local restaurateurs to show off their culinary specialties to members of our community.  The American Red Cross is hosting three events of Savor the Flavor – A Taste of Allegany County will be held on Sunday, March 3, 2013, from 12:00 noon to 3:00 p.m. at the Cuba VFW; a Taste of Cattaraugus County on Sunday March 10, 2013 from 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm at the Olean Elks Lodge, and A Taste of Chautauqua County on Sunday March 17 from 12:00 noon to 3:00 pm at the Jamestown Savings Bank Ice Arena.   

One of the greatest things about Southwestern New York is that we enjoy food, friends, and giving back to the community and the Savor the Flavor events puts all three under one roof.  This special fundraiser has two goals in mind:  to help promote the variety of tempting food establishments in our area and to enable our chapter to continue to meet the emergency needs of our county residents. 

For only $25 per ticket or $60 for tickets to all three Savor the Flavors, you can enjoy everything from specialty soups, elegant horse d'oeuvres, succulent meats, and decadent desserts as well as have the opportunity to taste local wine and beer. In the seven years of our Savor the Flavor event, the cost has not increased despite the rising cost of the basic services that the Red Cross provides in Southwestern New York.

Local businesses and friends of the Red Cross are invited to become a Bronze, Silver, Gold or Diamond Patron for this event.  The patrons of the event support the American Red Cross with their donations and in return, receive an advertisement in the Savor the Flavor program and tickets to the event. Becoming a patron of Savor the Flavor is a great way to show your support for the American Red Cross.

In the past years, each event has had over 20 restaurants and 300 wine and dine together to celebrate the Red Cross and due to the overwhelming success of the past year’s event, it is recommended to purchase tickets in advance. To purchase your tickets visit the American Red Cross Office in Wellsville at 112 North Main Street, (585-593-1531) or the Cuba Library at 39 East Main Street, Olean Red Cross Office at 452 N.
