As part of this partnership, GoldenTree will also serve as the Title Sponsor for the 37th Annual Chefs’ Tribute to Citymeals event on Monday, June 10th, at Cipriani South Street. Attendees will have the chance to sample gourmet creations while contributing to a critical cause, as all proceeds directly fund the delivery of meals to our older neighbors in need.

The walk-around tasting event will feature dozens of leading chefs serving their signature dishes, craft cocktails from the city’s leading bars and abundant fine wine, live entertainment, and opportunities for attendees to engage with culinary leaders, ensuring a memorable experience that raises crucial funds to combat elder hunger.

With a portion of GoldenTree's $100,000 donation supporting the 37th Annual Chefs’ Tribute to Citymeals, this year's event is expected to surpass previous fundraising efforts, directly supporting their ability to deliver over 2 million meals annually to vulnerable older adults.

"GoldenTree is a proud partner of Citymeals on Wheels, and we remain committed to supporting their mission of providing vital meals and companionship to New York's homebound elderly,” said GoldenTree Founding Partner, Steven Shapiro. “This partnership embodies our firm’s steadfast dedication to serving the communities in which GoldenTree operates.
