Annual Grief Relief Gala

Comfort Zone Camp, the nation’s largest independent children’s grief survival mission with camps in Virginia and New York serving children nationwide held their annual black tie dinner themed “A Night In New York” as a vital exposure route for supporting their continued success. When Carlisle’s team earned the privilege to cater this stellar event they created an evening with authentic, original stations and heavy hors oeuvres from all their favorite New York neighborhoods. Martini fountains flowed and silent and live auctions provided much appreciated donations to the camp. Over 800 attendees enjoyed an unforgettable New York Style extravaganza that will help children find the hope, encouragement and love that transforms lives.

The Lincoln Prize

The Lincoln Prize, administered annually by the Lincoln and Soldiers Institute at Gettysburg College, and endowed by philanthropists Richard Gilder and Lewis Lehrman, is the nation’s most generous award in the field of American History, and is traditionally awarded in a big Manhattan-style to-do. When the prize came to Richmond, guests expected everything to be top-shelf for this mega-event, attracting national media. Carlisle’s Culinary Connection pulled off every detail without a hitch. The best part? The people who booked it told Carlisle it was the best one they’d ever had. Now that’s rewarding.
