Chefs' Celebrity Gala
GALA WITH A TWIST Online | OCTOBER 28-31, 2021
The annual Chefs’ Celebrity Gala is the Memphis Child Advocacy Center’s oldest and most successful fundraiser. Funds raised help abused children recover from trauma. This year, as we continue to navigate pandemic impacts, our gala will be held online. Check back here for a link to the auction page when it goes live on October 28.
Plans are underway to bring back our traditional gala in 2022. Gala with a Twist is still all about the kids. When you support our gala, you help a hurting child find safety and healing.
Teddy Bear Surprises and Silent Auction
Teddy Bear Surprises are back this year! Teddy Bear Surprises are an enduringly popular part of the Chefs’ Celebrity Gala. Part of the fun is not knowing what items you have purchased until you open the envelope.
