Keiser University's Cooking for a Cause 

Keiser University presents its Cooking for a Cause Gala—an interactive dining experience designed to engage all your senses, foster participation, and transform your meal into an unforgettable event. This culinary journey caters to the adventurous and experiential-seeking audience, offering a departure from traditional dining norms.

The interactive dinner and fundraiser will take place on March 11, 2027. Cocktails and Silent Auction will begin at 5:30pm, followed by the Interactive Dinner at 6:30 at:

Michael's on East
1212 S. East Avenue, Sarasota

You and your culinary cohorts will take turns cooking each course (no experience required), guided by expert leaders, including Keiser University Center of Culinary Arts’ very own chefs. Amid shared food, wine, and laughter, funds raised will support the Keiser University Scholarship Fund, directly benefiting Keiser University students at the Sarasota campus.

Explore our sponsorship levels, each with additional opportunities, as we aim to enhance higher education in the Sarasota and Manatee area. Notably, 85% of Keiser University graduates stay local, contributing to the population of qualified candidates and professionals in our community. Your support ensures a meaningful impact on higher education and our future workforce.
