Sip, Savor & Give 2025: Chefs Who Cooked for a Cause
On October 23, 2025, our New York community gathered at 181 Madison Avenue for an evening of food, Champagne and purpose. Chefs and partners, including New York favorites Settepani, Kesté, Sunday Supper and Prato Bakery, donated their time and talent to Dominican Joe Kids.
The evening raised funds toward land for a permanent Dominican Joe Kids campus, a home where future generations of students in Las Terrenas can learn and grow. This year, we return with one goal: every student sponsored.
