All-Star Chefs Unite For Kennedy’s Disease Fundraiser

Nearly three dozen chefs from across the country will gather in Milwaukee in Aprilq for the seventh annual Dim Sum Give Some, a food-focused fundraiser benefiting the Kennedy’s Disease Association.

Set for April 19, this year’s event will be the largest yet, marking a significant milestone: the 10th anniversary of Jacobs’ own diagnosis.
Kennedy’s Disease is a rare neuromuscular disorder that progressively weakens muscles and fine motor skills. The chef, who has spoken candidly about his experience and used his “Top Chef” platform to raise awareness, said the realization “changed everything” for him.

Dim Sum Give Sum will take place from noon to 3 p.m. at the Italian Community Center, 631 E. Chicago St., with each chef offering their small plates for attendees to sample.
