The much-anticipated annual Gourmet Dinner FUN'd drawing was held on the enchanting evening of August 18, 2023. Set against the backdrop of a picturesque summer night at, “Shortwood Gardens”, this event served as an annual benefit hosted by Tonda & Joseph Parks to benefit the CenDel Foundation. The event supports the operation of the Foundation and the commitment to its core mission: enhancing the lives of those living in Central Delaware.

Attendees reveled in an exquisite culinary journey curated by the renowned Bonz Restaurant, indulging in delectable creations of lobster lollipops; jumbo shrimp; crab-infused deviled eggs, and summer salads that delighted the palate. The atmosphere was further elevated by a symphony of craft cocktails and captivating entertainment by Top Spin Entertainment that resonated throughout the night. The night was magical!
A special thank you to Tonda & Joe Parks, who have graciously opened the doors of their home to host this remarkable occasion for the last ten years and have raised over $200k to benefit the CenDel Foundation.
