Detroit Prep is the most diverse school in Detroit, racially and socioeconomically, and strives to celebrate lines of difference. DP students are scientists, urban planners, historians, and activists, investigating real community problems and collaborating with peers to develop creative, actionable solutions. Detroit Prep is one of the highest performing schools in the city - our students averaged 140% of the national average growth in a year, putting the school in the 99th percentile nationwide! Our students are making tremendous growth academically, but more than that, we are so proud of the curious, responsible, and compassionate little humans they are becoming. Our school is currently located in the basement of a church in Indian Village. Because we add one grade level each year, after this year, we are out of space We have found our dream building and need to raise $1,000,000 in one year in order to be able to move in next fall. Our dream building is a 100-year-old abandoned former school building, is 43,500 square feet, and has 21 classrooms and 3 levels. It has oak floors, lots of windows, and room for us to grow into. This building will be Detroit Prep’s forever home, serving around 500 students in kindergarten through 8th grade. We want to make this dream a reality, not only for our students and families, but for our future neighborhood for decades to come. We can’t do it without your help! Thank you in advance for considering partnering with us and sponsoring this incredible event. EVENT INFO Tickets Attire Bar Contact $250 each Casual Open Heather Compagner 150 seats [email protected] THE CHEFS Chef John Vermiglio | Grey Ghost Originally from the Detroit suburbs, Chef John has made his name by plating some of the most creative, original, and well-prepared cuisine out there. He is dedicated to true craftsmanship, the art of butchery, and unparalleled hospitality, and it shows with everything he creates. Chef Joe Giacomino | Grey Ghost Co-founder and co-chef of Grey Ghost, Chef Joe pulls his culinary inspiration from the best names out there, saying it is, “near impossible to name all the influences that … continue to develop [his] culinary style.” These influences directly impact his culinary range and deliciousness of every plate. Chef James Rigato | Mabel Gray Chef James Rigato’s philosophy on cooking stems from a lifelong love of food and an appreciation for the diverse agricultural area in which he was raised. His Italian grandparents were early culinary influences, and entered into the restaurant scene at 14. His newest culinary endeavor, Mabel Gray, a statement of his culinary evolution is approachable and energetic, reclaimed and refined, and a commitment to complex contrasts. Chef Andy Hollyday | Selden Standard A three-time James Beard semi-finalist, Chef Andy began his career 20 years ago cooking at a small family restaurant in his hometown of Toledo. Previously, he served as Executive Chef of Michael Symon’s Roast where he was named best chef, 2012, in Hour Detroit. Andy spends his free time in his garden, at the Detroit Film Theater, or at Comerica Park – and remains, despite his better judgment, a die-hard Lions fan. Chef Anthony Lombardo | SheWolf Chef Anthony, formerly head chef of Bacco, is weeks away from opening up a little piece of Italy right here in Detroit. Inspired by Rome of old as well as the modern metropolis that Rome is today, SheWolf will be one of only a few restaurants in the country that mill their own flour for house-made pasta. Chef Kate Williams | Lady of the House Chef Kate, formerly from Republic and Parks and Rec, recently opened her own restaurant, the nose-to-tail, Irish-inspired Lady of the House. Using her wide-range of experience, and Irish roots, Chef Kate has created a space where all are welcome to join in her nightly dinner party. Chef Brad Greenhill | Takoi Beginning with pop-ups in his kitchen, backyard, and bakeries after hours, Chef Brad has been driven by asking the question, “how can we make the most flavorful food?”. As his work progressed, his palate expanded, and welcomed in everything from Italian and Mediterranean influences, to Southern barbecue, and particularly the flavors of Thailand and Southeast Asia, which led him to open Takoi. Chef Alex Clark | Bon Bon Bon Alexandra Clark was born into a chocolate loving family who wasn’t surprised at all when at 19, she announced that she had decided to dedicate her life to the art of chocolatier. After traveling the world studying her craft as an economist, confectioner and retailer, she started Bon Bon Bon as a happy experiment. Since then, they have received acclaim from Bon Appetit, Food & Wine Magazine and Tasting Table, Martha Stewart (American Made Honoree, Brand), Crain’s (“20 in their 20s”) and Forbes Magazine who named her “The Best Pastry Chef Under 30” (on their list of “30 under 30”).
