LE BON APPETIT

Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital, one of the nation’s best pediatric facilities, and renowned chef Kelly English partnered with LEO Events to organize Le Bon Appetit. The biannual fundraiser brings some of the nation’s most celebrated chefs to Memphis, Tennessee, to continue the mission of Le Bonheur.

Le Bon Appétit highlights the very best that Memphis has to offer – hospitality, community, philanthropy, and really great food. Bringing more than 30 award-winning culinary masters from across the country together, the 2022 event featured a chef lineup unprecedented in expertise, diversity, and talent.

The event took place at Memphis’ Crosstown Concourse, a venue that perfectly showcases the city’s innovative revitalization of historic buildings. With more than 1,000 tickets sold, the event welcomed attendees and VIPs into an unforgettable culinary showcasing surrounded by one central goal – to help change lives.

LEO expertly crafted a communication plan to keep chefs and stakeholders in the know and managed all catering operations for the event. By utilizing kitchens and workspaces inside the multi-use venue, LEO provided chefs, sponsors, and attendees with a functional space that delighted the senses. Sponsorships and in-kind donations provided various services, including trash management, décor, valet, and more.   

As of 2022, Le Bon Appetit has raised more than 1 million dollars to benefit Le Bonheur Children’s Hospital.
