From June 2024 to December 2025, the JPF took on a monumental endeavor in honor of Jacques’ 90th birthday. The 90/90 Campaign created remarkable opportunities for chefs and fans everywhere to honor Jacques’ lifelong work and show their support for the mission of the Foundation.

The stories behind JPF grantees inspire us every day to keep spreading Jacques’ belief that “We are all equal in the eyes of the stove.” One story that we could hear over and over again is the life-changing journey of Chef Missy Terrel, our 2023 Gloria Pépin Memorial Grant winner.
