Dessert Dash

We’re looking for delicious dessert donations for our Dessert Dash. This beloved part of the gala allows guests to bid as a table for the chance to claim the most mouthwatering treats—raising vital funds for Gage in the process. Each dessert should generously serve at least 10 people.

You can support the Dessert Dash in one of three ways:
  1. Donate a homemade dessert if you’re a talented baker.
  2. Procure a dessert from your favorite bakery or a skilled baker you know.
  3. Contribute funds, and we’ll secure a delicious dessert on your behalf.
If you're interested in donating a dessert or have any questions, please fill out this form. Thank you for helping us make the night extra sweet!
