The inaugural Miriam and Carl Stern Community Partnership Award will be granted to Jeannette Bocanegra of Justice for Families, a partner organization in the Bronx. The event will also feature students from three of The Sylvia Center's Teen Culinary Apprenticeship programs in the Bronx, Brooklyn, and Queens, who will create their own dishes that will be featured during the event's cocktail hour.

The Art of Cooking Benefit will take place at Hudson Mercantile (500 W 36th St.) with cocktails being served from 6 pm to 7 pm. The sit-down dinner by Chef Bryce Shuman and the programming will be from 7 pm to 8:30 pm.
