Dessert Dash-Annual Dinner 2022

Hello Lumen Christi Families,

Please help us continue to make the Dessert Dash one of the most successful fundraising activities of our annual Light in the City Dinner! Attendees bid on the honor of getting their first choice from a wide variety of luscious desserts that WE provide. Our guests take their dessert selections very seriously and this is a fun and entertaining portion of the evening.

We are requesting that each school family ask your local bakery or favorite restaurant to donate a dessert to feed a table of 8 people. Participating donors will be identified at the dessert table and are invited to display business cards if desired. All YOU need to do is solicit those donations and bring the dessert to the dinner with you, or arrange to drop it off if you are unable to attend. We have created a letter you can take with you to aid in the solicitation process that will be included in the Friday folder.

We have received a number of requests for desserts that meet special dietary needs (such as gluten-free, dairy- and/or nut-free), so if your bakery offers these types of desserts, they would be greatly appreciated. Please make a note of these types of desserts in your sign up so we can try to accommodate our guests' needs. 

If soliciting a dessert from a local business is not feasible, please consider purchasing and donating one as a family.

PLEASE indicate the name of the dessert to be donated as well as the donor identity (family name or establishment) in the comment section.

As a reminder, our venue does NOT allow homemade desserts. The dinner is Sunday, May 1, 2022. If your bakery has a wide selection of dessert options, cakes and cheesecakes are always quite popular.

If you have any questions, please contact Nicole Haywood at [email protected] or Nahir Kesterson at [email protected] .

Thank you for all of your help in making this year’s Dessert Dash a success!
