Dessert Dash-Annual Dinner 2021

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. Remember: by supporting tuition assistance, teacher salaries, and general operations, the funds raised make it possible to continue providing classical Catholic education at Lumen Christi!

We are requesting that each school family ask your local bakery or favorite restaurant to donate a dessert (or two!) to feed a table of 6 people. It is particularly important for all of us to contribute to this year's effort, as we expect to need more desserts for more tables since we must reduce the number of seats per table due to health regulations.

Participating donors will be publicized on our auction website and slideshow at the event, identified with place cards 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(s) to the dinner with you. We can make arrangements to deliver your contributions if you are unable to attend the dinner. 

We have created a letter you can take with you to aid in the solicitation process. A hard copy of this letter will go home in the Friday folder and links will be provided on our website and within the Friday communications email. 

Special Note: We have received an increasing 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 this 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. As a reminder, our venue does NOT allow homemade desserts. The dinner is Sunday, April 25, 2021. If your bakery has a wide selection of dessert options, cakes and cheesecakes are always quite popular.

Please sign up below with the name of your dessert(s) and donor(s) (or your family name) no later than Wednesday, April 21, 2021.

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

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