Community Events

Community events are important for bringing folks together and building connections. They also help raise funds that support our giving opportunities. When people join in on these events, they're not just having a good time; they're also pitching in to make the community better. Please join us for our community-anticipated events.

​Upcoming Events

Each quarter, we hold a Dine 2 Donate event, hosted by one of our wonderful restaurant partners.
These fundraisers have really taken off and are eagerly anticipated by the community The Fundraiser
is actually very simple; visit and eat at the host restaurant on the designated day and we receive a
portion of the receipts for that day. You can eat in or take out! Couple that with our amazing sponsors
and patron donations makes for a wonderful day. These for fundraisers annually raise over $10,000
which goes to various student programs and scholarships at our Mathews schools.

Annual Events

Each year, we host our major events to bring our community members together.
