C-CAP’s National Annual Benefit

Creating a delicious, sustainable, and equitable future

On Monday, April 11, 2022, we had our 2022 Annual Benefit at Chelsea Piers in New York City. This year, we honored Carlton McCoy MS, Managing Partner, Lawrence Wine Estates; host of CNN’s upcoming series “Nomad with Carlton McCoy;” founder of The Roots Fund, which tackles a lack of diversity in the wine industry; and a celebrated C-CAP alum.

The evening included a walk-around tasting featuring NYC’s top restaurants including Red Rooster’s Marcus Samuelsson, Gramercy Tavern’s Miro Uskokovic, and Daniel Boulud’s restaurant group. Attendees got to mingle with top chefs and entrepreneurs in food, learn about our work, and meet the incredible students and alumni who have been impacted by our programs. Every attendee had the chance to take part in our exclusive travel & experience auction and went home with a gift bag of goodies!
