CEO COOKOFF’S Elite Fundraisers
The Black Apron recognises the incredible leaders who go above and beyond for CEO CookOff.
Any leader who raises $10,000 or more in a single CEO CookOff earns the Black Apron—a symbol of extraordinary commitment and impact. Black Apron recipients join an inspiring community of changemakers who have used their leadership, influence and networks to make a lasting difference in the fight against food insecurity.
Every $10,000 raised helps OzHarvest deliver up to 20,000 meals to people who need them most. It's the reason our yellow vans head out each day, rescuing good food and delivering hope to communities across Australia.
The leaders featured here didn't just take part—they inspired others to give, rallied their communities, and transformed their commitment into real impact. We're incredibly proud to recognise each of the leaders that have worn the Black Apron.
