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

“From 5:30 to 8 p.m., sample a variety of dishes from top local restaurants and caterers, sip cocktails, and bid on our exciting auction items – all for a great cause,” she said.

Attendees can make the evening even more special with the President’s Toast from 4 to 5 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 Southeastern’s most celebrated tradition.

“We would like to extend a very special thank you to our friends at Gulf Coast Bank & Trust for being our premier sponsor for Chefs Evening this year,” added Interim Vice President for University Advancement Malayne Sharp. “The support of our alumni, local businesses, and the broader community drives our success, allowing us to fund vital programs and scholarships to shape the future for countless Southeastern students.”
