In the spirit of giving, a portion of the event’s proceeds will support Meals on Wheels in their mission to deliver hot meals to seniors and the disabled throughout the Cayman Islands, addressing social isolation and ensuring year-round nutrition.

The event is made possible by the generosity of sponsors including Tortuga Rum Company, Kirk Freeport, Custom Concepts, and local eateries such as Casa Mexican Kitchen and Union Grill, amongst others. They have contributed prizes for a raffle, promising a night of joyous entertainment for everyone.
