Chefs across the country donate their time, passion, talents and amazing food creations for one cause: to find a cure for childhood cancer. Since 2006, culinary events have raised millions of dollars for research. It all began in 2006 with The First Annual Great Chefs Event hosted by Chef Marc Vetri and his Vetri Family of Restaurants partner, Jeff Benjamin. That first event brought together eight local Philadelphia chefs and 100 guests. The event raised $50,000 and planted a seed in the culinary world. Chefs that attended The Great Chefs Event Philadelphia were inspired by the energy, the cause and the need for cures for childhood cancer. These chefs brought ALSF culinary events home to their own cities. Now, there are four unique culinary events benefitting ALSF across the U.S., The Great Chefs Event Philadelphia, L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade, The Great Chefs Event NYC and The Great Chefs Event Chicago.
 
Now, anyone can be a part of the ALSF culinary community by purchasing Alex’s Table, a cookbook featuring over 55 recipes from world-renowned chefs, influential mixologists, celebrities and supporters. This collection of recipes is meant to be shared at the table with family and friends as Alex has invited us all to her table to fight childhood cancer. 100% of the proceeds goes towards our mission — fighting childhood cancer, one recipe at a time!
