7 Days for SIDS

On Monday, June 13, 2005, I had the opportunity to work side-by-side with Chef Jean-Robert de Cavel, owner and chef of Cincinnati Ohio’s Jean-Robert at Pigall’s at 7 Days for SIDS: A One Week Fundraiser for Sudden Infant Death Syndrome, an event that he and his wife Annette founded after losing their daughter Tatiana to SIDS in June of 2002. In the past two years, this annual event has raised over $80,000 for SIDS education, research, and parent support and has funded the Tatiana de Cavel scholarship fund at the Midwest Culinary Institute at Cincinnati State Technical and Community College.
