Mexico City Restaurant Hosts "Máximo por la Niñez" Fundraiser for Children

In a heartwarming initiative that blends culinary excellence with social responsibility, Máximo, the acclaimed Mexico City restaurant led by chefs Lalo García and Gabriela López, is set to host "Máximo por la Niñez" on April 30th, coinciding with Mexico's Children's Day. This special event transcends a mere gastronomic experience; it is a powerful demonstration of how the vibrant Mexican food scene can unite for a cause close to the nation's heart – the well-being of children.

Partnering with Save the Children, an organization dedicated to protecting vulnerable children, Máximo will donate all proceeds from food and dinner sales on this day to the cause. This collaboration is not just about fundraising; it's about leveraging the influence and platform of renowned chefs to create a tangible impact. The event will feature a stellar lineup of guest chefs, including Óscar Segundo and Xrysw Ruelas from Xokol in Guadalajara, Jorge León from Alfonsina in Oaxaca, Claudia Sántiz from Kokono’ in Chiapas, Gustavo Macuitl from Macuitl Molino in Puebla, and Fabián von Hauske from Wildair in New York.

These cooks are part of Mexico's future and, above all, guardians of our country's ancestral recipes and techniques. This meeting seeks to share that work and turn it into support for children. As an ambassador for Save the Children, I want to continue promoting initiatives that generate resources for this cause.

These culinary artists, described by Chef Lalo García as "part of Mexico's future and, above all, guardians of our country's ancestral recipes and techniques," will craft unique dishes exclusively for this event. These creations will be available à la carte or as part of a special tasting menu, offering diners a chance to savor exceptional cuisine while contributing to a noble cause. García, an ambassador for Save the Children, expressed his commitment to driving initiatives that generate resources for children in need. This event, coinciding with Máximo's 15th anniversary, underscores the restaurant's dedication to community engagement and its belief that hospitality can be a powerful vehicle for empathy, social responsibility, and positive change.

This collaboration is integrated into the actions that the restaurant promotes to strengthen its bond with the community and reaffirm that hospitality can also be a space for empathy, responsibility, and social commitment.
