The Warwick Area Career & Technical Center (WACTC) proudly recognizes our Culinary Arts students for winning the ProStart State Competition held in Newport during February. They now advance to the National Competition in Baltimore, Maryland the week of April 20, 2026.

To support this exciting endeavor, many community partners and sponsors are joining together to host a fundraising dinner on Tuesday, April 14th at the RI Convention Center (Rotunda Ballroom). The reception starts at 6 PM and dinner begins at 7 PM.

Tickets are $100 and may be purchased by reserving a seat here. In addition to a full dinner prepared and served by WACTC students as part of the ticket price, there will also be a cash bar and raffles offered throughout the evening.

Any and all proceeds from the evening will go to help our students get to the National Competition in Baltimore, MD thanks to the generosity of our community partners listed below.

Have questions? Please email Culinary Instructor and Chef, Mrs. Eva Niosi, here, or call the Warwick Area Career & Technical Center's Main Office at (401) 734-3150. We would be happy to assist you!
