At Michaels On East on April 16, cocktails sparkled as 200 guests donned aprons over purple attire, becoming chefs for a night. Under expert guidance, they crafted four-course meals, honoring the late Josh Chapnick’s passion for cooking and his time at Seasons52. The evening flowed into a spirited auction, followed by raised paddles in support of epilepsy assistance. Now in its 7th year, the event—backed by SK Life Science and others—celebrates Josh’s legacy through JoshProvides.org. Though his life ended at 28, his spirit lives on, bringing hope to those affected by epilepsy.
