Café Thirty-A Christmas Charity Ball Dec 7

Café Thirty-A in Seagrove Beach transforms into a holiday wonderland for the annual Christmas Charity Ball benefiting Caring and Sharing of South Walton on Saturday, December 7, 2024.

From 6- 10 p.m., the restaurant will be closed for the annual private event. Attendees will be greeted upon arrival with complimentary valet, sponsored by All Access, and a glass of champagne to toast the evening. Inside, Café Thirty-A’s culinary team will be serving a plethora of hors d’oeuvres including hand-rolled sushi, a dinner buffet featuring some of the restaurant’s signature dishes, as well as a dessert spread sponsored by Haney Holloway, PLLC. There will also be a cash bar sponsored by All Access, a DJ, and a commemorative Epic Photo Co. photo booth sponsored by A BOHEME Design. Guests are encouraged to dress in evening attire, black tie optional.

The evening will feature a silent auction featuring items from local businesses, as well as a generous raffle package, with all proceeds benefiting Caring and Sharing of South Walton’s efforts to provide food and financial assistance to local area families and individuals in need. In 2023, the annual Christmas Charity Ball raised a record-breaking $64,000 through ticket sales, donations, raffle tickets, and auction sales. For area businesses interested in silent auction donation, please contact Jessica Bracken at jessica@proffittpr.com.

Café Thirty-A would also like to thank the additional local businesses and individuals for sponsoring this year’s event, including Earl Bacon / Thomas, Howell, Ferguson as The Harriret Cromlin Honorary Sponsor. Those interested in sponsoring the 2024 event, please email jessica@proffittpr.com.

In honor of longtime owner, Harriet Crommelin, who passed away in 2023, this year’s event will be presented by three Harriet Crommelin Honorary sponsors including Earl Bacon, the Ellis Family, and Thomas Howell Ferguson.

“We invite the community as well as our longtime patrons to kick off the holiday season with us,” said Jackie Maliszewski, co-owner of Café Thirty-A. “We as owners, along with our staff, love to host this event each year and it’s the perfect way to start the season of giving and helping those in our local community who need it most.”

Tickets are on sale for $150 in advance or $175 at the door, with one hundred percent of the ticket sales and auction proceeds benefiting Caring and Sharing of South Walton. These funds will go directly to providing neighbors in need with access to food, financial assistance, counseling, case management, and connection to other community resources.
