C-CAP’s Benefit: New York Plate of Mind
About C-CAP's National Benefit
Get into The New York Plate of Mind as we bring together a wide range of supporters in our industry—the best chefs, pastry chefs, bakers, craft beverage producers, winemakers, food entrepreneurs, and more—for an incredible walk-around food-and-drink tasting. It's also an opportunity to learn more about our mission and impact, mingle with the best and brightest in the food industry, and connect with our talented community of C-CAP students and alumni.
The National Benefit raises critical funds for our organization, supporting our continued programming in hundreds of high schools, and the 20,000+ students we work with every year.
