Why This Event Matters

Les Dames d'Escoffier International.
We are a philanthropic organization of women leaders in food, beverage, and hospitality who:
• Champion and mentor women in our industry
• Fund scholarships and educational grants
• Support emerging culinary professionals
• Invest in the future of women in food & wine
To date, Les Dames chapters have collectively donated millions to support education and advancement for women in our field. Your ticket directly fuels scholarships, grants, mentorship programs, and community impact here in Dallas-Fort Worth.
This is fundraising for women — by women — celebrating excellence, opportunity, and leadership.
