Through this initiative, Chef Violet hopes to rally the community and venue partners, restaurants, chefs and associations in her network to contribute their talents and resources for a good cause.This year, this initiative adds to the focus of building sustainable philanthropy by rallying partners, volunteers and the community to make giving a way of living and contribute not only in a holistic but sustainable manner.

"I am very blessed to have been known as a chef and food ambassador over the last 50 years, and I hope that through this fundraising initiative, I can shine the light on others in the F&B community who deserve to be known and celebrated, and also showcase their care for the less fortunate!"
