CHELSEA PIERS, Manhattan -- New York City's top women chefs are coming together and offering up their signature dishes in support of the fight against ovarian and breast cancers.

SHARE, a nationwide community that brings support, information and the benefit of experience to women of all ages, races and backgrounds facing breast or ovarian cancer, will celebrate its annual "A Second Helping of Life" tasting event on Monday, September 18, 6 p.m. at Pier 60, Chelsea Piers.
