Founded in 2015 and based in Fowlerville, Torch 180 is an innovative organization that runs a one-of-a-kind training center offering vocational training in a state-of-the-art restaurant facility for persons with disadvantages who seek and obtain gainful employment.

They will be working with celebrity sous chefs at their sides to prepare a delicious masquerade ball dinner for the guests, which they will have the opportunity to present to the attendees.”
In addition to dinner, there will be a money casino, dancing, silent and live auctions, multiple raffles, and opportunities to win prizes.
