Behind the Mask, Beyond the Plate: Culinary Charity Evening
Experience an elegant masquerade evening featuring top local chefs, gourmet cuisine, and unforgettable auctions. Bid on vacation packages, enjoy a libation pull, and support our signature “Fund the Mission” auction—this year dedicated to creating a safe, playful front playground for children in our Early Learning Center and shelter programs. Proceeds directly benefit YWCA Rock County’s vital programs, empowering women and providing safe spaces for children.
This year’s masquerade-themed evening promises an elegant and enchanting experience, where guests can don masks and formal attire while savoring the culinary creations of some of the area’s top chefs.
Throughout the evening, attendees will have the opportunity to participate in both silent and live auctions, including 5–6 incredible vacation packages—domestic and abroad—as well as a libation pull. The highlight of the night will be our signature “Fund the Mission” auction, which this year will focus on creating a new front playground for small children. This vital project will support YWCA Rock County’s Early Learning Center and provide a safe, secure space for children of mothers in shelter, allowing them to play freely without worry.
Proceeds from the event directly support YWCA Rock County’s programs, including domestic violence shelter services, child advocacy, racial justice initiatives, and immigrant outreach, making a tangible difference in the lives of women, children, and families throughout our community.
Experience an evening of mystery, gourmet cuisine, and meaningful impact, all while helping us empower women and create safe, nurturing spaces for children.
