Lōkahi: Evening Luau

A CIA Student-Run Charity Dining Event

Saturday, July 8, 2023 | 4 p.m.

Join us for an exciting night at the Culinary Institute of America’s senior capstone event: Lōkahi: Evening Luau, inspired by the cuisines and cultures of the Hawaiian and Polynesian islands.

This event is planned, operated, and executed by the graduating CIA bachelor’s degree students, to benefit the Poughkeepsie Farm Project. Their mission is to provide equitable access to nutritious food. This charity means a lot to us because of our passion for food and desire to help those in the surrounding community that are experiencing food insecurity.

In addition to the Poughkeepsie Farm Project, a portion of the event’s proceeds will go toward the Love for Lade Perry Scholarship, a scholarship created in memory and honor of Omolade “Lade” Perry, a 16-year U.S. Navy veteran and student in the CIA bachelor’s degree program, who passed away, unexpectedly, in March 2022.
