🌙🥂 JOIN US! You’re Invited to the 19th Annual Comfort Food Classic: Moonlight & Mimosas
Brunch with Heart. Every Bite Brings Hope.
Get ready for an unforgettable evening where flavor meets purpose and community comes together to make a difference. The Comfort Food Classic—Collective for Hope’s largest annual fundraiser—returns with a luminous twist: Moonlight & Mimosas.
Since 2007, this beloved event has brought together over 300 guests each year to enjoy incredible food while supporting a mission that ensures no one has to grieve alone. And this year is especially meaningful as Collective for Hope celebrates 25 years of service and the opening of Omaha’s first-ever dedicated grief center—a milestone that will expand healing and connection across our community.
The Experience
Five of Omaha’s most talented chefs will go head-to-head in a friendly competition to be crowned the Best Brunch Chef in Town—serving up everything from savory favorites to sweet indulgences, all paired with bubbly mimosas and an unforgettable atmosphere.
What to Expect
• Signature tastings from Omaha’s top chefs
• Sparkling mimosas & creative cocktails
• Chef competition + audience voting
• Silent auction, live auction, wine pull & raise-the-paddle
• Heartfelt stories, laughter, and moments of hope
Why It Matters
Every ticket, sponsorship, and donation supports free grief and survivorship programs for children, teens, adults, and families. Your support helps create safe spaces where every story is honored, every person belongs, and healing can begin.
Join Us — and Bring a Friend!
This is more than a brunch—it’s a movement. A celebration of love, resilience, and the power of community to uplift one another.
Come sip, savor, and stand with us as we turn compassion into action and hope into healing.
✨ Because when we brunch together, hope is always on the menu. 💛
