On June 5th, 2023, over 200 friends, family and supporters from near and far gathered at Project Farmhouse to celebrate the life of our dear King and sustain his legacy with the King Phojanakong Memorial Scholarship.  Thanks to the generous contributions of our talented chefs, donors and supporters The Foundation raised over $100,000 which helped establish an endowed scholarship at the Culinary Institute of America. The King Phojanakong Memorial Scholarship will keep King's legacy alive and in perpetuity provide the next generation of culinary professionals with a world class education from the CIA.

This education will help prepare students to lead in the kitchen, the boardroom, give back to their communities and positively impact NYC.

A huge heartfelt thank you to everyone who helped make the evening a tremendous success!

The Benefit Dinner featured signature dishes from Kuma Inn, expertly prepared by top NYC chefs.
