Cows ‘n Cabs will celebrate a decade of food and fundraising on Nov. 12, in the Central Park West Meadow at N. Park Ave. and W. Morse Blvd.

Cows ‘n Cabs was established in 2012 by John Rivers, founder and CEO of 4R Restaurant Group, and Dave Larue, Vice President of ABC Fine Wine & Spirits. The event has donated more than $1.6 million to local charities over the past nine years.

In a previous interview with the32789, Rivers said he believe Cows ‘n Cabs has been so successful, because it’s different than many other Central Florida charity events. “It wasn’t a dinner — we call it a rubber chicken. It wasn’t stuffy; there were no presentations or screenings. It was just — come out, have a good time, and party with a purpose,” he said.
