Proceeds from the evening will benefit Camp H-Town, the summer sleepaway camp at Four Seasons Hotel Houston. Conducted in collaboration with The University of Texas MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital, the oncology camp provides kids who have been touched by cancer with a fun and safe camp environment at no financial cost to the campers’ families.

Tickets to Celebrity Chefs Against Cancer are currently available for purchase. Additionally, limited sponsorship opportunities remain, which offer reserved seating and other VIP benefits.

This year’s Camp H-Town follows the storybook-themed Once Upon a Camp, and campers will enjoy activities at the Hotel and at surrounding city attractions including a Houston Astros baseball game; a Formal Dinner & Dance Party, beginning with a pampering self-care day, followed by an exciting dinner and dance party at Four Seasons Hotel Houston; and a day at the Lakewood Yacht Club, where campers will take a scenic cruise, enjoy pool time at the Club, and wrap up with a delicious dinner.

"We're excited to bring the community together in celebrating our homegrown culinary stars with an evening of connection, intention, and indulgence,” says Tom Segesta, General Manager of Four Seasons Hotel Houston. “After last year’s record-breaking fundraising, we look forward to raising even more this year to help these incredible kids enjoy a summer camp experience like no other, created just for them.”

About Camp H-Town

Camp H-Town is a charitable organization dedicated to providing children with cancer a unique and rewarding experience by offering an “urban camping trip” at Four Seasons Hotel Houston. Each summer, the Hotel converts an entire floor into a “campground for kids” with bunk beds, camping gear and meals, and a program fully-supervised by the caring medical staff from MD Anderson Children’s Cancer Hospital and local volunteers. Campers enjoy a fun-filled week of activities at the Hotel and throughout the city while making new friends and memories. The joy and sense of belonging it brings is priceless, and is without any financial cost to their families. Sister camps also supported by Celebrity Chefs Against Cancer take place at other Four Seasons hotels around the country, including Camp Peach Pals (Atlanta), Camp B’More (Baltimore), Camp Dalton Dreams (Boston), and Camp Kids Are Kids (Chicago).
