You’re invited to have dinner with new and old friends!

What is Ten Tables? Ten Tables is a progressive mystery dinner fundraiser for Parents. On the evening of the event at 6pm, attendees gather at one large appetizers party, where they will receive their dinner destination. At 8pm, everyone will proceed to their dinners hosted by volunteers, where we will all enjoy delicious food and get to know nine other randomly assigned attendees. After dinner around 10pm, everyone reconvenes for dessert and coffee at a new location.
