Celebrating for a Cause

Event Recap: Meals on Wheels Celebrity Chef Ball

This year’s Meals on Wheels Celebrity Chef Ball at The Geraghty was a stunning celebration of culinary excellence and community support! Our team at Paramount Events managed a lineup of over 50 of Chicago’s top chefs, along with immersive food and beverage activations. We staffed the evening with our Paramount Events team, providing attentive and seamless hospitality to ensure each guest felt welcomed and cared for.

We partnered with Kehoe Designs as they transformed the space with extraordinary decor– creating an inviting atmosphere for guests to mingle and savor the evening.

With more than 500 generous guests in attendance, the event raised enough funds to provide 179,000 meals for seniors and individuals with disabilities by the year’s end—an impactful outcome. The evening was a powerful testament to the difference we can make together, marking a memorable milestone for Meals on Wheels Chicago!
