THANK YOU TO OUR SUPPORTERS!

Thanks to their hard work and the unprecedented generosity of almost 500 guests in attendance at The Geraghty on October 25, 2024, Celebrity Chef Ball raised enough to provide 179,000 meals to food-insecure seniors and individuals with disabilities before the end of the year.
