On Friday, June 6th, Warren Coalition will host a new fundraiser, “Let’s Get Cheesy,” providing an evening of incredible food combined with some ridiculous (in a good way) fun! The funds raised from the event will support Warren Coalition events and programs for kids and families. This includes Red Ribbon Week activities held in the middle schools, the HALO (Helping All Little Ones) Read program affiliated with Dolly Parton’s Imagination Library, and activities designed to build resilience in kids and promote family togetherness.
This event won’t be just cheese and crackers—although unique and popular cheeses will certainly be included. Instead, the Coalition will have varying dishes based in delectable gooey cheesiness. Think French mac & cheese, lasagna, cheesy biscuits, Caesar salad, cheesecake nachos, cheesecake ice cream, and much more!
Leaning into the double entendre of “let’s get cheesy,” the event will also feature some crazy (a.k.a. cheesy) fun games, some of which will have attendees “cracker” up with laughter! There will be contests such as “Name the Movie This Cheesy Line Is From,” and entertaining activities involving rubber chickens and goldfish crackers. There will be many other activities, but the Let’s Get Cheesy planning committee has declined to go into detail, saying that they don’t want to give too much away. However, they did add that this is an evening during which they want adults to relax and allow themselves to have some crazy fun—or at least laugh with the people who are brave enough to try! (And those brave souls will have a chance for some fantastic–or cheesy–prizes!)
Let’s Get Cheesy will be held at the North Warren Celebration Hall (North Warren Fire Station) at 6:30 pm on June 6th. Please note: because this event includes wine and mead, it is only for people 21 and up. Tickets are $75 each until June 1st, and are on sale now at warrencoalition.org/cheesy. Only 100 tickets will be sold.
As this is a fundraiser, there will be a chance auction, a small silent auction, and a live auction featuring a vacation as well. Some of the “brie-lliant” items up for grabs include a hummingbird cake made by Debbie Grove, a cheesecake by Shane Goodwin, wine tastings from three different wineries, and gift cards to local restaurants. Thank you to Jen Avery of Crum Realty; Warren County Veterinary Clinic; Ellen Aders-State Farm Insurance; The Recovery Connection; Struckmann, White & Wiseley PC; Auto Care Clinic, Inc.; and Harmony Hike for sponsoring this event! Sponsorships and items for the auctions are still being accepted—the cheesier, the better (but cheese is not required)! If you are interested in sponsoring or donating an item, contact Celeste Brooks at celeste@warrencoalition.org for more information.
