Chef Art Smith has teamed up with the award-winning Chicago Chefs Cook to raise money for those impacted by Hurricane Helene, including those living in Chef Art’s hometown of Jasper, Florida. Over 25% of Jasper residents live below the poverty line, and their homes and communities have been decimated by the recent storm and the substantial flooding it has caused. Most in the city are without power and have limited access to water.

The net proceeds from this event will benefit World Central Kitchen, an organization on the ground providing aid for those in need across Florida, and Operation BBQ Relief, which is distributing hot meals to those in Jasper in the wake of recent devastation.

Please join us at Chicago Q on Sunday, October 6, 2024, from 5:00pm-8:00pm for an unforgettable night of BBQ and treats from chefs across Chicago. Enjoy small bites and an open bar, and help support a cause near and dear to our chef community. Space is limited, so we suggest you purchase tickets in advance. A limited number of tickets will be available at the door for purchase with Tap to Pay or cash only. Donations are also welcome should you be unable to attend.

100% of donations are tax-deductible, and $50 of each pre-event ticket and $75 of each at-the-door ticket is tax-deductible.

Jasper Strong!
