WILMINGTON -- After filming several episodes of his hit show this week in the port city, emmy award-winning celebrity chef Guy Fieri stopped at Landfall Country Club on Friday to help support a great cause. He hosted a breakfast and lunch event to raise money for the Girls Leadership Academy of Wilmington, also known as GLOW. Fieri said it’s important to give back to the community whenever an opportunity presents itself.

“Not every kid has the opportunity that we have or our children have. So we have to take these kids that don’t get the opportunity and empower them,” said Guy Fieri.

GLOW plans to open a brand new 60,000 square foot facility in the Fall of 2019 in Wilmington.
