RAPID CITY, S.D. — Fork Real Community Café will host its 4th Annual Chef’s Dinner Auction on Saturday, Oct. 11, at 5 p.m. at The Box – Ellsworth Salon A in Box Elder. The fundraiser will feature culinary creations from local chefs and unique dining experiences, all in support of the café’s mission to strengthen the community through food and education.
Early bird tickets are available until Sept. 1, offering a $10 discount per ticket. Proceeds from the event will benefit Fork Real Community Café, which provides pay-what-you-can meals and programs aimed at building connections in the Rapid City and Black Hills community.
Guests will enjoy food samples, refreshments, and the chance to bid on experiences prepared by participating chefs. Past auction items have included a shrimp boil, a five-course in-home dinner, and a private meal with Rapid City Mayor Jason Salamun.
“This gathering reflects the heart of our mission, bringing people together through food and purpose,” said Rhonda Pearcy, founder of Fork Real Community Café. “We’re thrilled to return for a fourth year, and deeply grateful to the incredible chefs who generously share their gifts in support of our community.”
Event organizers say this year’s auction will again feature a variety of gourmet dishes, desserts, and interactive food experiences, with more details to be announced in the coming weeks.
