Glad to Be Cooking for a Cause With My Daughter Julia by My Side
I am incredibly thankful to be taking part in the 2025 CEO CookOff, and even more so because I get to do it with my daughter Julia this year.
We will join OzHarvest’s CEO CookOff this October to cook meals and raise crucial funds to help feed people in need in my local community. With the cost of living continuing to rise, the demand for food relief in Australia is at an all-time high. More people than ever are struggling to make ends meet.
This event means a lot to me, and doing this with Julia makes it even more special. It’s a chance for us to give back together, to share something meaningful, and to support a cause that truly matters. I’m grateful we can be part of this experience side by side.
Every $1 donated to OzHarvest means they can deliver 2 meals to those in need. If you would like to support this incredible event and the work it makes possible, please visit the page here:
https://www.ceocookoff.com.au/fundraisers/waynebunz7934/ceo-cookoff-2025
Let’s make a difference together, one plate at a time.
So far this year, I've raised $57,438 to provide...
114,876
MEALS
to feed people in my local community.
My impact over 3 years
Over 3 years, I've raised $133,150 to provide 266,300 meals to feed people in need.
