Why Attend

The FMI Foundation is accenting the FUN in fundraising with their event Stir It Up!, a lively cooking competition taking place at the FMI Midwinter Executive Conference.

Retailer and supplier executives will draft all-star chefs and culinary experts to compete for the bragging rights of dishing up the best family meal —breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snack—with the audience determining the winning menus. (Check out 2024's Gold Mitt Award Winners here.)

All funds raised support the FMI Foundation’s programs on health and well-being, nutrition, food safety, diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, and social responsibility.
