A 50/50 raffle drawing, open bar, photo booth and live musical entertainment will round out the evening’s festivities.

Since its inception in 1984, the Restaurant Gala has raised more than $4 million for scholarships benefiting students attending the Academy of Culinary Arts, a student emergency fund and Atlantic Cape Community College Foundation operations. We are grateful for every contribution that helps the ACA provide quality educational and training opportunities, and ensures the continued success of our students.
