Every December, the Ben Curtis Family Foundation and friends celebrate the most wonderful time of the year. Our annual A Very Merry Dinner event is a night of magic and cheer for local food-insecure children and their families during the holiday season. We now host two dinners — one in Kent, Ohio, and one in Ravenna, Ohio. Families enjoy a buffet dinner, a visit and pictures with Santa, and cookies and milk with Mrs. Claus. In addition, each family takes home a meal (complete with ham or turkey) and gifts from their wish lists for Christmas morning. This event wouldn’t be possible without the help of our sponsors and volunteers. It’s truly a special gathering that gives families a Christmas celebration at a time when they may need it most.
There are many ways to support A Very Merry Dinner, including wrapping gifts during our annual Wrap-A-Thon event, hosting a giving tree or attending a celebrity bartending event with Ben Curtis as he serves up drinks in support of A Very Merry Dinner.
Hundreds of families attend A Very Merry Dinner every year. Event and food sponsors are essential to the success of this special holiday tradition!
