Celebrating our Fork Childhood Cancer Challenge impact!
Congrats to Chef Cathy’ McKnight's Team Green for taking the Champion Award home!
Chef Azmin Ghahreman & Team Hope won both the Kids Choice and People’s Choice awards!
Chef Shachi & Team Love took home “The Bomb” award because Sophy Singer generated the most individual donations for the entire Challenge!
Matt & Vicki DeArmey, Chef Michael Puglisi, and Mary Adzich of Team Ohana took home the “Smells Like Team Spirit” award because they truly embodied the meaning of Ohana. They also included an entire community in their efforts!
Our judge team was incredible!! Our deepest thanks to Tembi Locke, Jet & Ali Tila, Mike Pyle, and Cathy Thomas for so generously sharing their time with us.
All of the culinary students from OCSA, Saddleback & Santa Ana Colleges were amazing and it was a true highlight having them with us offering an incredible grazing table and supporting our teams.
The food & wine was incredible along with delicious cocktails and most of all the incredible energy of all of the attendees. This new event format is so energizing and exciting, we just can’t wait until next year!
The fundraising results are in!
The Fork Childhood Cancer Challenge & App-Off Finale raised $335,611, just $14,389 short of our $350,000 event goal. That’s pretty incredible for the first year of this event format! We do however need to raise $500,000 by the end of the year. Teams are still accepting donations! Click the button below to help us reach our goal.
THANKS TO ALL who contributed — YOU make MaxLove Project happen! What we do is not optional and we appreciate you, our Hope Heroes!
Our deepest thanks to Tanaka Farms & Tennis Serves Others for presenting the App-Off.
