The Ashley Lauren Foundation proudly celebrated the tremendous success of its ‘2026 Chefs Who Care’ event, held on April 14, 2026. The unforgettable evening brought together nearly 50 acclaimed chefs from across New Jersey and New York, creating an extraordinary culinary experience in support of families facing pediatric cancer.
With an overwhelming turnout from the community, business leaders, luxury brands, sponsors, philanthropists, and supporters, the event highlighted the power of compassion, collaboration, and giving back. Guests enjoyed curated tastings, premium wines and spirits, live entertainment, and exciting auction experiences while supporting the Ashley Lauren Foundation’s mission to provide financial, emotional, and material assistance to local children with cancer, and their families.
Your support, sponsored partnerships, and the commitment to this mission by dozens of award-winning chefs, including delicious fare from Chef Dennis Mathews & Head Chef Ryan DePersio of the stellar Ember & Eagle, & Tillinghouse at Suneagles Golf Club, help make ‘Chefs Who Care’ possible, offering assistance to children and families at their greatest hour of need.
The Ashley Lauren Foundation extends its heartfelt gratitude to every chef, sponsor, supporter, volunteer, and attendee who helped make this year’s event one of the organization’s most successful and impactful gatherings to date.
