Fifty percent of the cookbook’s profits are going towards public schools. For this generous donation, Ellamarie has partnered up with celebrity Kevin Sorbo, best known for his work in Hercules. Donations will be given to his nonprofit organization “A World Fit For Kids” (WFIT). WFIT uses physical activity, nutrition and mentoring to help motivate kids to stay in school. Ellamarie believes that education is the gateway to a wonderful life. “I was helped along the way and it is my turn to help pay it forward”. She believes that every child should be provided an opportunity to learn. She gives to this particular charity because in life many things can be taken away… except a love of learning.
