CULINARY CELEBRATION

The verdict is in, and darling, it’s dazzling. 🌴✨

CEF Culinary Celebration: Party in the Palms, presented by Park Place Grapevine, was officially the must-attend event of the season — a night where glamour met giving under the glow of the palms and perfectly poured generosity. Guests arrived in full Palm Royale fantasy, and left having done something even more beautiful than dressing the part: they made a lasting impact for Dragon Teachers.

Because of this extraordinary and generous community, the CEF Board of Directors is proud to announce that the 2026 Culinary Celebration raised an incredible $597,000 to support and fund Dragon teachers. 💚 To everyone who attended, bid, volunteered, donated, and believed in the mission—this magic is yours.

Until next season - stay fabulous, stay generous, and never underestimate what happens when glamour meets giving. 🌴🍸🦩✨

But for now, relive the magic through the photos!
