Michael Fusco Recovery Fund

Michael Fusco has been a cornerstone of Tulsa food for decades. He has hired, mentored, taught, molded or fired most of the best chefs and cooks in the city.  His presence in Tulsa paved the way for the rest of the culinary community to achieve a level of respect and creativity that Tulsa might not have seen without his early hard work.  He led the way with community and charitable gifts, honoring the city that loved him so dearly.  He met and married his wife, started and is raising his family in the same beloved city.

Most recently, though, he has had a life threatening struggle with complications due to contracting shingles. During this battle, he has been unable to work and support his family and he will continue to struggle for the immediate future.   With sufficent time and support he can recover.

His colleagues, friends and mentees ask that you honor the gifts he has given Tulsans and its communities by giving back to him and helping support his family in this very dire time.

Thank you in advance for your gifts.
