Today is the International Day of Charity! So we bring you a story of hometown community service. The Lerner Theatre was alive with excitement Thursday night as Bashor Children's Home hosted its 10th Annual Running with Spoons fundraising event, according to a release. The evening brought together community leaders, local businesses and former Notre Dame football stars for a spirited celebrity chef cook-off — all to raise support for Bashor’s new emergency shelter, scheduled to open in 2026. The need for this new shelter is urgent, officials noted. Demand for safe, immediate housing for children has grown far beyond the capacity of Bashor’s current emergency shelter facility. When children in crisis seek help through programs marked with the Safe Place sign across the community, it is Bashor who answers the call. The Golden Spoon Award, the evening’s top honor, went to brothers Reid Gawthrop and Rod Gawthrop representing Forest River, Inc.® and Alpha, after an exciting head-to-head culinary competition. Guests enjoyed sampling dishes, voting for their favorites, and supporting Bashor’s mission. #RVIndustry #RVBusiness #RVB #Elkhart #BashorChildrensHome
