• Become A 2026 Sponsor!

    The 10th Anniversary Mac ’n’ Cheese Throwdown is more than a food festival—it’s a fundraiser with real impact.

    Proceeds from the event support Working Animals Giving Service for Kids (W.A.G.S. 4 Kids), providing mobility and autism service dogs to children with disabilities across Northeast and Central Ohio. Sponsorship helps fund service dog training, placement, and early intervention services that change lives for kids and families.
