After years of unforgettable evenings filled with generosity and community\, we’ve decided to close this beloved chapter on a high note. \nWe’re evolving\, just as our community’s needs have evolved\, to reimagine new\, meaningful ways to deepen\, elevate\, and maximize our collective impact. With the rising costs of hosting an event of this scale\, combined with the time spent on the event\, we’ve found that it is no longer sustainable for our mission to host it each fall. As thoughtful stewards of your investment\, we’ve realized we can make an even greater impact by redirecting those resources directly into services that prevent hunger and homelessness. \nSunsetting Uncork the Night creates space to innovate and focus more directly on mission-aligned partnerships. Moving forward\, we’re excited to focus on more intimate\, mission-driven gatherings that will provide opportunity for deeper connection and intentional conversations with the people who make this work possible: people like you. \nThis final gala is a moment to reflect on the past and invest in what comes next. \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n What are the dinner menu options for ticketed guests? \n \n \n Artisan bread (V) with sweet cream butter with black lava salt\n\nStarter salad\nBaby frisee and arugula salad (GF\, N) with candied pecans\, crumbled blue cheese\, grapes\, agave cider vinaigrette \nEntree options\nPan-seared filet (GF) with creamy garlic mashed potatoes\, brussels sprouts\, honey-roasted carrots\, and beef stock jus\n\nSeared herb-crusted salmon (GF) with wild rice pilaf\, asparagus\, roasted tomato relish\, and citrus beurre blanc \nCabernet beet steak (DF\, GF\, VG) with roasted vegetable quinoa pilaf and curried carrot puree \n\n \n \n \n\n \n \n Where should guests park? \n \n \n Self parking is complimentary on Saturdays and the gates for the Lincoln South Garage* will be open.

Every dollar raised fuels our mission to provide stability and support to the more than 4\,324 children in our community facing food and housing insecurity and the more than 708 children experiencing homelessness. \n\n\n\nNo child in our community should have their education disrupted due to experiencing hunger or homelessness. Let’s come together and ensure every Bellevue child has the stability they need to thrive in the classroom and beyond. \n\n\n\nGuest questions?
