Giving Back to Our Community by Helping Children and Young Adults Fulfill Their Dreams
Paul Kares is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization dedicated to encouraging and educating children who show interest and passion for the culinary and musical arts. Paul Kares’ mission is to support these young artists by providing them with the confidence, training and tools to pursue careers in their chosen artistic field.
The nonprofit was founded by Paul Cullen, former bass player for the rock band Bad Company and now a successful worldwide food, entertainment and wine entrepreneur
Paul had raised over $200,000 for the local community by donating his In-Home Dining Experience for live auction items to local charities like Beebe Hospital, Children's Beach Home & Habitat for Humanity, which was the catalyst for creating Paul Kares.
While reflecting on his own successful career and determined to find a way to give back to the community, in 2020 Paul and another Lewes entrepreneur, Jim Rivette, founded Paul Kares, Inc., to help fulfill their philanthropic dreams.
Paul Kares hosts fundraising events throughout the year to raise awareness and funds to enable us to fulfill our goal of assisting children who need financial support to attend educational seminars, workshops and classes in their chosen field or to purchase musical instruments and culinary/kitchen tools and equipment.
Our organization works with grade schools, high schools and other institutions and groups throughout the Delmarva region to identify qualified candidates who may become future recipients of Paul Kares scholarships and other financial awards. We will be especially looking to support children who are from low-to-moderate income circumstances.
Paul Kares also is concerned with immediate needs of the lower income members of our community and contributes to efforts to feed the homeless alongside Jim Martin’s “Shepherd’s Office” in Georgetown, DE by donating food and money to those in need.
