Join us on Sunday, October 26, for Youth With Faces’ Third Annual Chefs’ Dinner, an intimate event bringing together Dallas’s top chefs with our energetic students in an unforgettable celebration of transformation. More than a meal — it’s a chance to experience mentorship in action, as your favorite local chefs guide our Culinary Arts interns through the experience of creating a multi-course menu of the highest caliber.
This year’s masquerade theme adds a playful air of mystery to the evening. Guests will enjoy the magic of elegant masks, twinkling candlelight, and a festive atmosphere. Just as masks unveil hidden perspectives, we are inviting you to be a part of revealing our students’ potential through meaningful learning opportunities.
Contact Michelle Jones at events@youthwithfaces.org or 214.926.5344 to learn more or confirm your sponsorship. The 2025 chef lineup to be announced soon!
