Reality Rally

40 pans of bread make a difference in lives.....how, do you say??, read on!!!

Reality Rally is an amazing awesome fun weekend for people and it also promotes Temecula. BUT it is primarily a way for people who care about making a difference in the lives of others to make a difference and in many creative ways......The Reality Rally weekend is a way to have the time of their lives making memories while helping those fighting cancer to have time in their lives to make memories.

Raising funds is hard but dealing with cancer is really hard. Being creative raising funds really helps. This is the first story of caring creative Reality Stars who came up with a way to raise the funds and more stories will follow as we are blessed by having Stars and Teams who care and make it fun and beneficial for people to donate.This is all about 40 pans of bread, 20 ins of hair in the next blog.

I saw an amazing donation of $470 come through Koop Wynkoop from Hell’s Kitchen, so I asked him how did that happen.

In his words “Basically what I've done is instead of fully asking for donations only in offering my baking skills for a donation. I'm offering the persons choice of cinnamon rolls or a loaf of challah bread for a $20 donation. Either made through the webpage or in cash then I do a lump donation when I have enough cash. I've just taken into consideration the fact that this time of year,its hard to just get cash from,people no matter how positive the donation would be to a cause. So I've decided that selling something I can make using the skills I'm know for will result in better donations from me.
Its going so well that I simply have had,to turn some people away from getting any bread right now and push them into another week. I've made over 40 pans of bread just this week.

Koops mother is a cancer survivor who is celebrating 5 years in remission in 2017 and hopes to be a part of any great organization that is leading the charge to help not only cancer patients but their families as well.

Koop is first and foremost a family man. His girlfriend Jen and their two children AJ and Aly live in a small community in Ohio where farm to table is not a concept but a way of live. The culinary industry is a second life for Koop starting his professional career as a laborer in a local factory straight out of high school. Koop did not know what path to take in life until after his son was born and he was laid off work due to the economic recession. This is when he became interested in the culinary world. Cooking for family was something that was enjoyable and not just another chore. After enrolling and graduation from the Columbus Culinary Institution Koop began his professional culinary career as an entry level fry cook but within a year was able to be coordinating his first wine paring and start to make a splash in the local culinary world. Always the one up for a challenge the opportunity to be a part of Hell's Kitchen was something he did not want to pass on. After going through the application process he was cast for season 16 of Hell's Kitchen. Since returning home from Hell's Kitchen Koop has embraced his local roots and his doing his best to educate on where our food comes from and why it is so important to know that your food comes from the farm not the grocery store.
