Help support the next generation of great American chefs by hosting a Friends of James Beard Benefit® at your restaurant!
By holding a Friends of James Beard Benefit, chefs have the opportunity to stage a high-profile event that supports James Beard Foundation programs.
Benefits can be presented in a variety of formats:
- Hosts can offer a multi-course tasting menu, a family-style Sunday Supper, or a walk-around party
- Benefits may be hosted by a single chef or a group of chefs from a particular city or region
- A restaurant can host its own stand-alone benefit, or a benefit can take place within a larger festival
Benefit hosts will be acknowledged in our digital media.
If you're interested in hosting a benefit or would like to learn more, please contact our director of fundraising initiatives Izabela Wojcik at iwojcik@jamesbeard.org or 212.675.4984x248.
