Charity Dinner for Blanche Vinke
On 10 June 2026, the Legends Lounge at the Philips Stadion hosted Stars for Blanche, a special charity dinner in support of The Blanche Foundation.
The evening brought together some of the finest names in Dutch gastronomy. Under the leadership of Edwin Vinke and Tom Vinke of De Kromme Watergang, leading Michelin-starred chefs collaborated on an exclusive dinner, with each chef presenting one of their signature dishes. The culinary experience was complemented by live music and an exclusive charity auction hosted by Erik de Zwart.
More than seventy guests gathered with one shared purpose: to help fund an innovative CAR-T treatment for Blanche Vinke. Thanks to the generosity of chefs, partners, sponsors, and guests, the evening raised €508,116.
Stars for Blanche demonstrated how gastronomy, hospitality, and social commitment can come together to create an event with lasting impact.
