From the Saturday afternoon change of pace to the bustling beer garden, The Great Chefs Event Philadelphia added a few fresh ingredients to spice it up this year. What didn’t change was the main ingredient: you and the nearly 900 other supporters who made this event so impactful for all kids fighting cancer. Hopefully the dazzling dishes and divine drinks provided as much satisfaction as knowing you raised an amazing amount of funds to support research for better treatments and cures.
There were so many highlights to share including Liz Scott’s heartfelt speech, Alex Thomas’ story about overcoming cancer five times and the thrilling live auction. Thanks to you, kids like Alex have a better chance at healthier futures. Check out all the exciting photos from the event on ALSF’s Facebook page.
Of course, this event wouldn’t be possible without presenting sponsors Northwestern Mutual, Urban Outfitters and Volvo. Special thanks to host Chef Marc Vetri, who invited so many amazing chefs to share their delectable food alongside mixologists, wineries and breweries. Lastly, shout out to all the volunteers and other sponsors who always make this event delightful.
