Raising critical funds for charities and community groups.
Gala Fundraising and Lyfestyle Experiences have joined with some of Australia’s top chefs to offer The BIG DINE-IN!
A partner program to encourage attendees of postponed gala events to dine ‘in style’, at home, or in partner restaurants while supporting charities and not-for-profit organisations.
Currently available in Melbourne metro, you can choose from a range of 3-course dining packages for 2 or more people.
In many cases, a BIG DINE IN purchase contributes more donation profit than a regular ticket to an annual luncheon or gala dinner.
Our award winning chefs have selected outstanding menus of 5 star restaurant quality, expertly adapted for in-home dining. Each menu will be hand delivered to your door, either vacuum sealed or frozen.
Meticulous preparation instructions or video demonstration, will accompany your delivery, to ensure you can simply finish and plate your meal for an exquisite evening at home. Bon Appetit!
