C4S is a not-for-profit organization founded by dedicated chefs committed to giving back to the future of the industry. Chefs from all over the world have come together to raise money by booking out their restaurants for food and wine pairings along with silent auctions. It has also been funded by generous like-minded culinarians in many forms including cash and product donations for auctions, cookbook donations and more. The program is overseen by David and Pamela Nelson from Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
All profits raised at events, auctions or cash donations go into a fund set-up under the umbrella of the Yampa Valley Community Foundation located in Steamboat Springs, Colorado. This foundation over-sees all funds and disburses the money as advised at the time of grant awards.

To date, over $85,000 has been awarded to students with financial need from this organization.
