Reflecting back on moments like these reminds us why we do what we do. Being part of the inaugural Fall Gala at the historic Aiken Rhett House was an honor we won’t soon forget. It’s events like this, where history, community, and purpose come together, that make our work so fulfilling. Sharing the flavors of the season in support of such an important mission was a true privilege. Thank you for capturing the evening so beautifully 📸

A horn band set the tone, and the flavors of the Big Easy took center stage. We served escargot en croute, duck boudin, whole smoked gator, and blackened BBQ shrimp. Meanwhile, Cafe “Cru” Monde turned out fresh beignets and pralines to order. Guests also enjoyed cajun classics like muffulettas, crawfish boil, lobster gumbo, fresh oysters, while balloon tethered trays kept the hors d’oeuvres in motion.
