Celebrating Jacques Pépin’s 90th Birthday with the BOKA Group

This celebration is part of a nationwide series of 90 dinners leading up to Jacques Pépin’s 90th birthday in December 2025. The campaign, which preserves, protects, and promotes Jacques’ legacy, directly supports the Jacques Pépin Foundation’s educational initiatives including free instructional videos on the website, YouTube and social media channels, and the established Community Kitchens Support program, empowering people facing barriers to employment through culinary training. Funds raised will be used to enhance the Community Kitchen grants, all educational programs, and to build the new JPF Learning Curriculum available on a dedicated educational website for Community Kitchens nationwide.
