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.- Donate a homemade dessert if you’re a talented baker.
- Procure a dessert from your favorite bakery or a skilled baker you know.
- Contribute funds, and we’ll secure a delicious dessert on your behalf.
