Every year at Soirée Cedille, we are thrilled to present the Martin D. Ginsburg Award to an individual (or group of individuals) who exemplifies the philanthropic spirit of Marty Ginsburg through generous support of Cedille Chicago, NFP, the organization Marty held so dear. While we are unable to present the award this year, we are thrilled to honor Martin D. Ginsburg’s other passion — cooking. As his daughter Jane Ginsburg once remarked,
“Mommy does the thinking, and daddy does the cooking.”
