Legacy's Holiday 'Schmooze' Returns, in Remembrance of Catering King Jackson Hicks

SINCE ITS FOUNDING by the late catering king and philanthropist Jackson Hicks, Legacy Community Health’s Schmooze has been a holiday bash that hundreds look forward to each year.


More than 250 festively clad guests were welcomed into the North Boulevard home of Richard Holt. A bountiful buffet and Christmas cocktails awaited, and partygoers admired the sparkling trees and holiday décor while raising money for The Jackson Hicks Endowed Fund for the Awareness, Prevention, and Treatment of HIV/AIDS at Legacy.

This year’s soiree was attended by heavy-hitters such as Bobby Dees, Hallie Vanderhider, Bill Baldwin, Fady Armanious, Vivian Wise, Shannon Hall and many others. Cheers!

Unfortunately, Au-Yeung never got to see it come to fruition, as he passed away earlier this year. But the James Beared-nominated chef-owner certainly left his mark — and in honor of what would be his 53rd birthday, operating partners Kevin Lee and Marvin He have organized two pop-up tribute dinners.
