The Gala Dinner

In 2019, the 13th Annual Celebrity Chef Gala was held on October 15, at Cipriani Wall Street and the night raised an amazing $1.2 million USD for the charity.

All 110 chefs were gifted Cargo Crew aprons to wear for the event, this year choosing the Otto Bib Apron in Navy (style is now discontinued). 

The evening begins with notable chefs and mixologists delivering hors d’oeuvres and drinks during the lavish cocktail reception at Cipriani Wall Street, NY. For dinner, celebrated chefs execute a four-course meal prepared tableside exclusively for their guests. It’s like having your own personal chef for an evening!

More than 400 guests attend, representing a community of New York thought leaders, philanthropists and corporate executives. Since 2007, the Chef Gala has raised more than $13 million USD in support of the autism community and Cargo Crew are proud to support this amazing cause.
