Northeast Ohio’s premier food and wine event - Five Star Sensation, presented by Huntington - was again a five-star success. Thanks to our generous donors and supporters, more than $1.5 million was raised to support UH Seidman Cancer Center through innovation in cellular therapies at UH Wesley Center for Immunotherapy, Phase 1 clinical trials, and community access to education and resources designed to address cancer health disparities.

This year marked a return to the sensational tent event, a first since the COVID-19 pandemic. Five Star Sensation guests enjoyed premium food and wine from some of the country's top chefs and vintners, while golfers enjoyed gourmet cuisine at the Chef's Classic Golf Outing, as part of the festivities.
