Chefs Evening 2025

Be part of something extraordinary as Southeastern Louisiana University celebrates the 40th Chefs Evening during Southeastern’s Centennial year.

This year’s event will be held at the Pennington Center on Saturday, March 29, and includes a night of fantastic food, drinks, and company, said Assistant Director of Donor Engagement Faith Peterson.

“From 6:30 to 10 p.m., sample a variety of dishes from top local restaurants and caterers, sip cocktails, bid on the silent and live auctions, and dance the night away with the live band, Sugar Bomb – all for a great cause,” she said.

Attendees can make the evening even more special with the President’s Toast from 5 to 6 p.m. at the President’s Residence. The exclusive gathering offers gourmet hors d’oeuvres from Cena in Hammond, wine pairings, and a warm kickoff to the historic celebration.

“You don’t want to miss this historic milestone,” added Peterson. “Together, let’s support student scholarships and vital program funding, helping to unlock opportunities and shape the future for countless students.”
