Twenty-eight of NYC’s top women chefs cook their signature dishes for “A Second Helping of Life” to benefit SHARE’s work to fight breast and ovarian cancers. This event will be held on Monday, September 21, 6 PM at Pier 60, Chelsea Piers.

This year’s roster includes Food Network favorite Alex Guarnaschelli (Butter), Anita Lo (Annisa), Rebecca Charles (Pearl Oyster Bar), Chopped Grill Masters Grand Champion Angie Mar (The Beatrice Inn), Amanda Cohen (Dirt Candy), Patti Jackson (Delaware and Hudson), and many more. Breast cancer survivor Pat Battle — co-anchor NBC4’s “Weekend Today in New York” — will serve as host. Over two dozen female celebrities will serve as sous chefs.

“Women of all ages, ethnicities, and backgrounds get breast and ovarian cancers,” says Jacqueline Reinhard, SHARE’s Executive Director. “When it comes to diagnosis, the disease doesn’t discriminate. And SHARE exists to help everyone with crucial support, life-saving information, and guidance that suits the needs of each woman.”
