“One who eats alone cannot discuss the taste of the food with others” — African proverb.
Each year the Soiree helps us raise approximately 1/4 of the cost of our classroom programming, from textbooks, to teacher training, to scholarships.
Let us save you from that fate for at least one night in September! Join us for Mali Rising’s annual Soiree on September 26th at Red Butte Garden in Salt Lake City, and you’ll enjoy an amazing West African-inspired dinner.
Thanks to our generous Gold Sponsor, LUX Catering and Events, this will be a dinner like no other. No boring rubber chicken at our gala! Check out this fun menu and then snag your tickets now…we sold out last year!
On the menu:
Mali peanut stew (vegetarian): with roasted peanuts, onions, tomatoes, chilies, turnips, sweet potatoes, carrots, and spinach.
