🌊 CATCH & RELIEF | LENA’S FOUNDATION GALA 2026 🐟🍣🦪 One night. Nine incredible chefs. Fresh catch. Sushi. Ceviche. Champagne. Caviar. And a cause that matters. Lena’s Foundation is dedicated to supporting Houston survivors of domestic violence, human trafficking, crime, natural disasters, and other life-altering circumstances by providing essential resources, nourishment, scholarships, and community-driven support. In 2025, our first fundraising event raised over $110,000, allowing us to support 15+ feeding events and provide more than 10,000 meals and essential food supplies to communities in need — including supporting families affected by the Hill Country flooding on July 4th. And in 2026, the work continues. So far this year, Lena’s Foundation has provided fresh meals for 20+ feeding events, reaching more than 2,000 survivors, while also awarding 5 meaningful scholarships to students affected by domestic abuse in recognition of their hard work and perseverance. Now, we invite you to help us take it even further. 🐟 CATCH & RELIEF continues our tradition of having our fishermen head out to sea to bring in the freshest catch, which Houston’s talented chefs will transform into an unforgettable evening of Sushi & Ceviche, paired with Champagne - Caviar - Oyster Live Shucking - Sochu & Sake Tasting Featuring an extraordinary lineup of Houston culinary talent: 👩🏻🍳 Lena Le - Lena's Asian Kitchen & Lena's Foundation 👨🏻🍳 Naoki Yoshida — Shun Sushi, Tokyo X 👨🏻🍳 Christian Hernandez — Chef/Owner at Barbacana 👨🏻🍳 Suu Khin — MasterChef Finalist, Burmese Pop-Up Chef 👨🏻🍳 Joey Manglicmot — MasterChef Contestant, Serial Entrepreneur 👨🏻🍳 Masaru Fukuda — Chef/Owner at Pacha Nikkei 👨🏻🍳 Joey Chavez — Private Chef, COO of Go Beyond Luxury, Former Executive Chef, Brennan’s 👩🏻🍳 Micaela Victoria — Forma, Mimi; Former Pastry Director, March & Marigold Club 👩🏻🍳 Priscilla Trevino — Pastry Chef at Barbacana 👨🏻🍳 Waymond Wesley II - Founder Chefsquire Hospitality & Harrisburge Pop-Up 👩🏻🍳 Mariah Scott - Finalist Next Level Chef (by Gordon Ramsay), Culinary Instructor at HCC This is more than a gala.
