The Greater Navarre Area Chamber’s inaugural Lunch for a Cause was held last Friday, April 21 at Samurai Japanese Restaurant in Navarre.
The event benefited the Navarre Weekend Food Program, raising $2,057 for the effort to provide nutritional weekend food supplements for disadvantaged students.
The event sold out with 80 people packing the hibachi tables at Samurai Japanese Restaurant.
