The menu features lemon chicken with capers, slow-cooked beef brisket, light alfredo penne with vegetables, roasted vegetables in mushroom compote, spring salad, and dinner rolls. Cheese and fruit table, Poke Bar, LBK Pizza, Six2Six cookies, and Merengue Bakery delicacies were donated to the event. Silent auction items include exclusive donations from St. John Couture, Swarovski, Kate Spade, Delta Airlines and many more sponsors.
