Celebrate Jacques

Celebrate Jacques’ 90th Birthday Nationwide

Chill the Champagne and stock up on birthday candles, because Jacques Pépin is going to turn 90 next year! That’s something to commemorate in and of itself, but at the Jacques Pépin Foundation we’re planning to celebrate both the man and the mission of the JPF.

The 1935 Society

July 25, 2024

August is Make-A-Will Month, a time to reflect on the importance of planning for the future and ensuring that your wishes are respected. The JPF’s Director of Philanthropy, Tula Gogolak, created the 1935 Society to bring together a circle of friends who share a common vision to ensure future generations have access to culinary education, life skills training, upward mobility, and better health through better food.

The Foundation

The Foundation was formed in June, 2016 by Jacques Pépin and his closest family to translate Jacques’ inspirational love of cooking, mastery of classic technique, and renowned teaching ability into action that benefits people disenfranchised from the workforce.

As the most trusted name in culinary education, we believe the Jacques Pépin Foundation is uniquely qualified to advance culinary training for our neediest, willing citizens.
