The elegant event will include a delectable dining experience courtesy of local chefs from some of the finest catering companies in town. Due to the pandemic, they’ve been unable to work for the majority of the year and are anxious to get back into the kitchen to support this fundraiser. They will provide a delightful four-course meal which will be available for pick up on the day of the event, packaged ready to heat and enjoy from the comfort of your home while you participate in the virtual event. The program will include a curated wine tasting flight hosted by Maurice DiMarino with Cohn Restaurant Group. There will also be an unforgettable opera performance by Rosario Monetti and Victoria Robertson of Meshuggah Shack, as well as a variety of student performances. Have your fans and paddles ready for the silent and live auction, which will be sure to surprise and delight.

Using their creativity and passion, they kept students their top priority by taking steps to ensure they were able to learn and thrive (both in-person and virtually) during the COVID-19 pandemic.
