Following a three-year hiatus, L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade will return on Sept. 23.
Hosted by James Beard Foundation award-winners chef Suzanne Goin and partner Caroline Styne alongside chef David Lentz, the premier cookout raises funds and awareness for Alex’s Lemonade Stand Foundation and its mission to find better treatments and cures for all kids with cancer.
“I’m unbelievably happy that we are finally bringing L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade back. Suzanne, David and I have missed being able to support this amazing Foundation and bring all of our food and wine friends together again,” said co-founder Styne. “I always say this, but this is literally my favorite day of the year."
L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade brings together the best chefs, winemakers and mixologists from not just L.A., but across the country. The lineup already includes Michael Cimarusti, Chris Bianco, Adam Perry Lang, Donald Link, Nancy Oakes, Nancy Silverton, Suzanne Tracht, Jon Shook, Vinny Dotolo, Rocco Whalen, Marc Vetri and Akasha Richmond, among others.
In addition to the smorgasbord of food and beverage offerings, the family-friendly event will also feature children’s activities, silent and live auctions and more.
The 2019 edition of L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade saw more than 2,500 attendees and 100 chefs, mixologists and vintners who all came together to raise $1.3 million. And since its inception, the culinary fundraiser has seen a number of longtime Hollywood supporters including Jimmy Kimmel, Laura Dern and Timothy Olyphant.
“We’re so excited to be back and we’re in awe of the commitment and generosity of Suzanne, Caroline and David, all the participating chefs, vintners, mixologists and guests of L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade,” said Liz Scott, co-executive director of the foundation. “It is so special to celebrate an entire decade of L.A. Loves Alex’s Lemonade! Every year we move closer to achieving Alex’s vision of finding a cure for all kids with cancer!”
The afternoon event will take place from 12:30 to 4:30 p.m. on UCLA’s Royce Quad. It is sponsored by Northwestern Mutual and Volvo Cars of North America.
Tickets are now available and start at $195 until Aug. 1 for general admission, which will increase to $255.
Royce Quad is located on the UCLA campus at 10745 Dickson Ct. 90095.
