The Jacques Pepin Campaign Heads to Washington DC

The Jacques Pépin Foundation (JPF)’s first-ever nationwide fundraising campaign, honoring Jacques Pépin’s prolific 75-year career as an esteemed culinary educator and legendary chef, is heading to Washington DC. These special dining events at L’Avant Garde, Centrolina, The Square and Fiola are part of a series of 90 star-studded chef-hosted events that will take place throughout the country, leading up to Jacques’ 90th birthday in December. 

The JPF’s 90/90 campaign, which preserves, protects, and promotes Jacques’ legacy, directly supports the JPF’s educational initiatives including free instructional videos on the website, YouTube and social media channels, and the established Community Kitchens Support program, empowering people facing barriers to employment through culinary training. Funds raised will be used to enhance the Community Kitchen grants, all educational programs, and to build the new JPF Learning Curriculum available on a dedicated educational website for Community Kitchens nationwide.
