Get ready for an unforgettable evening where culinary artistry meets community impact! Join us for a night of mouthwatering flavors, lively entertainment, and heartfelt giving — all in support of children from birth through age five with special needs or at risk for developmental delays.
Ten of Polk County’s most talented Chefs will wow your taste buds with their signature, tapas-style creations, each expertly paired with a wine or libation designed to enhance every bite. Guests will enjoy a cash bar, live music, silent and live auctions, and, of course, your chance to sample every Chef’s masterpiece.
You’ll also be part of the excitement as our guest judges crown the “Top Chef of Polk County 2026”, and guests cast their votes for the coveted “Community Choice” award. Watch the friendly competition heat up as local leaders vie for the title of “Top Philanthropic” through their fundraising efforts. Even the Chefs themselves will weigh in, awarding the prestigious “Chefs’ Choice” honor.
This event is intended for guests 21 and older.
