Board Benefit 2026
Join us on Friday, August 21, from 6:30–9:30 p.m. at the historic Mansion Museum in Oglebay for an evening of exceptional food, live music, and community celebration in support of arts and culture throughout the Ohio Valley.
Hosted by the Oglebay Institute Board of Trustees, Board Benefit transforms the Mansion lawn into a festive gathering place where guests can enjoy gourmet cuisine, decadent desserts, an open bar, a beer garden, and live entertainment while connecting with friends old and new.
The evening will feature gourmet buffets by Chef Adam and Chef N'Company, desserts sponsored by Wheeling Island Hotel-Casino-Racetrack, a grazing table by Table 204, and smooth jazz by saxaphonist Calvin Stemley.
More than a memorable night out, Board Benefit helps sustain Oglebay Institute's mission of enriching lives through the arts, nature, and history. Proceeds support educational programs, performances, exhibitions, camps, classes, and community events that serve thousands of children and adults each year across the Ohio Valley.
