Annual Fundraisers
Harvest Benefit Dinner
Saturday, September 19
6 pm - 10:30 pm
Join us on Saturday, September 19, for an unforgettable evening under the stars as we celebrate the fall harvest
with exceptional food, community, and the opportunity to invest in Elawa Farm's mission.
The evening will feature an exceptional multi-course dinner served in our gardens and thoughtfully prepared
by Chef Lee Kuebler, showcasing the best of the season's harvest in a truly memorable setting.
The Harvest Benefit Dinner is Elawa’s largest fundraiser of the year, with a goal of raising $325,000 to support
our Food Access, Educational, and Workforce Development programs. The evening will also feature a live auction and paddle raise in support of Elawa Farm Foundation’s food access, education, and workforce development initiatives. Every ticket purchased and every contribution helps expand access to nutritious food, hands-on learning, and meaningful employment opportunities.
We hope you'll join us for this special evening and invite your friends, family, and colleagues to
celebrate the season while investing in the future of Elawa Farm Foundation.
Event Co-Chairs: Ammar Bahrani and MaryLiz Lehman
