Beau Fodor - A Cookie Exchange for Good

Our friend Beau Fodor is back with a charity event for the Methodist Hospital Transplant Center. It's the Second Annual Cookie Exchange. Each participant bakes up his or her best and then brings it to Proof Restaurant on the 11th of December. It costs you nothing but you may also give a donation to the Methodist Hospital Transplant Center. Here we talk about Beau, his business, Proof Restaurant and the Second Annual Cookie Exchange. You can tell Beau you are going by heading to this Facebook Page. Enjoy!
