Cleaver and Cork is a four-part culinary experience expertly crafted by the Tallahassee Community College Foundation. In our seventh year, we are pleased to welcome award-winning chef, television personality, author and philanthropist, Aarón Sánchez.
We are passionate about creating opportunities for students to define and reach their education and career goals – Cleaver and Cork was born from this vision as a way to further elevate educational program opportunities, scholarships, and teaching and learning facilities.
