Alex's Lemonade Stand to honor Vetri family
Marc Vetri, Jeff Benjamin, and Jeff Michaud will take home top honors from the charity this weekend.
Alex's Lemonade Stand to honor Vetri family
Marc Vetri and his restaurant family are pretty well known for their charitable and educational efforts through the Vetri Foundation. But even before they had their own initiative, they forged a lasting relationship with children's cancer-fighting org Alex's Lemonade Stand. Vetri and business partners/Jeffs Benjamin and Michaud were responsible for creating the Great Chefs Event in 2005—and for growing it into an event that in 2012 alone raised more than $1 million. Their influence and connections have also drawn other chefs around the country into creating their own programs to benefit ALSF.
So it's no big surprise that Alex's Lemonade Stand has chosen Vetri, Benjamin, and Michaud as the recipients of its 2013 Alex Scott Crystal Cup, the top honor to be presented at this weekend's Lemon Ball. The annual gala will be held at the Philadelphia Marriott Downtown (1201 Market St.) on Sat., Jan. 12. Tickets are $250 and can be purchased here; in addition to the Vetri family honors, awards will be given to top fundraisers and volunteers for the charity over the past year. And, of course, there will also be all the dinner and drinks and dancing and top-to-bottom revelry you'd expect of a gala event to celebrate saving kids' lives.
