The Fresh Start Gala — Tucson's biggest night for fighting childhood hunger
Four of our city's most iconic culinary personalities are ready to make a sacrifice: shave off their signature beards, live on stage, the moment our community hits $500,000 raised for The Tucson Family Food Project.
A beard is comfort, identity, familiarity — shaving it off is a public, visible act of renewal. And that's exactly what we're fighting for: a fresh start for every kid and family facing food insecurity in Tucson.
Between now and January 30, 2027 — Fresh Start Day — you can join the challenge, fundraise with your friends and followers, nominate others to jump in, and watch it all culminate in one unforgettable night. Because when Tucson comes together, we don't just raise money. We raise hope.
