J.H. Cohn Sponsors Taste of the Nation New York City to End Childhood Hunger
5/07/2010
J.H. Cohn LLP, one of the top 15 accounting and consulting firms in the United States, has partnered with Share Our Strength to present Taste of the Nation New York City, the local spin-off of the nation’s premier culinary benefit dedicated to ending childhood hunger in America. The event will take place at 8:00 p.m. on May 17 at New York City’s Grand Hyatt Hotel (109 East 42nd Street, at Grand Central Station).
Tickets may be purchased by clicking here; by calling 877-26-TASTE; or at the door the evening of the event (based on availability).
Since 1988, Taste of the Nation has brought together the most creative culinary minds across the nation. Each spring and summer, pioneers of modern American cuisine, national celebrity chefs, and mixologists—including David Burke, Stephan Pyles, mixologist Tony Abou-Ganim, Bravo’s Top Chef Tom Collichio, Food Network stars Tyler Florence and Emeril Lagasse, and thousands more like them—donate their time, talent, and passion at nearly 40 events across the United States and Canada with one goal in mind: to raise critical funds needed to help end childhood hunger. One hundred percent of the events’ proceeds go directly to Share Our Strength’s efforts to end childhood hunger.
“Taste of the Nation’s success is due, in large part, to the legions of dedicated volunteers across the country—everyone from top chefs and corporate sponsors to firms like J.H. Cohn—who share the urgency to end this national crisis,” said Gary Levy, CPA, partner director of J.H. Cohn’s Hospitality Industry Practice. “These volunteers have helped raise more than $73 million for anti-hunger organizations that run or advocate programs that connect at-risk families with the food they need, and as a firm we are honored to be a part of this life-changing event.”
This year, funds raised through Taste of the Nation will support No Kid Hungry™, Share Our Strength’s campaign to end childhood hunger in America by 2015, as well as selected international efforts.
The Taste of the Nation New York City gala is one of three Taste of the Nation events J.H. Cohn has aligned with for 2010. Partners Kelly O’Callaghan and Christine Darcy were on the board for the Taste of the Nation event held April 26 in Princeton, NJ, and the Firm has a similar level sponsorship for the Taste of the Nation Los Angeles event being held in June.
