Chef Participation Opportunity

Save the Chimps will host its 7th annual Chimps Kitchen event at Cobalt at the Vero Beach Hotel and Spa on Thursday, November 5, 2015. This exciting event is one of the most anticipated fundraisers of the season.

Last year’s event raised over $100,000 thanks to hundreds of guests who attended and were able to sample delicious tastings donated by local Chefs, Banana Daiquiris sponsored by Cruzan Rum, and bid on a wide selection of wonderful auction items. All proceeds benefitted the more than 250 chimpanzees living in permanent sanctuary at Save the Chimps.

Join fellow chefs such as Executive Chef Rachel Bourdon of Cobalt, Chef Ron Adams of Bobby’s, Pastry Chef Timothy Blouin & Sous Chef Golan Fuchf of Grand Harbor, Chef Ben Tench of The Moorings Yacht & Country Club, Executive Chef Stephane Becht & Sous Chef Joel Drapeau of Windsor, and Pastry Chefs Ashlee & Ryan Wykoff of Frosting as they sample their finest signature dish to nearly 300 attendees from along the Treasure Coast and beyond.

Please review our agreement that outlines both the benefits and responsibilities of being a participant. To secure your spot and ensure maximum exposure in all event publicity and materials, please email or fax the attached commitment form before September 1st. Space is limited.

Thank you for your consideration. We hope you will join us in making this our best event yet!
