This November, Simon is proud to take part in OzHarvest’s CEO CookOff, joining other business leaders and some of Australia’s top chefs to raise vital funds and help prepare meals for people in need.

By supporting Simon’s CEO CookOff fundraising campaign, you will help OzHarvest deliver nourishing meals to vulnerable people in the community. Every $1 donated helps provide two meals to people doing it tough.

Support my CookOff to feed people in need.

I'm taking part in OzHarvest's CEO CookOff this October to cook meals and raise crucial funds to feed people in need in my local community.

With the cost of living increasing, the demand for food relief in Australia is at an all-time high as people struggle to make ends meet.

I'm teaming up with Australia's most talented chefs, and other CEOs and leaders to reduce food waste and make a difference to Australia’s most vulnerable.

Every $1 donated to OzHarvest means they can deliver 2 meals to those in need.

Every donation counts, so please sponsor me to cook, connect and create change to help those doing it tough.
