Reds, Whites & Desserts 22nd Annual Fundraiser

A vintage tradition continues! Join us at the 22nd annual Reds, Whites & Desserts

A community tradition continues as the Worthington Area Chamber of Commerce presents its 22nd annual Reds, Whites & Desserts event on Saturday, May 18, 2019, from 7 to 10 p.m. 

Our Chamber fundraiser will be hosted at the Jessing Center at Pontifical College Josephinum, where Chamber member Bosc + Brie (formerly known as Mass Appeal) oversees exceptional events and catering. The Jessing Center is located at 7625 N. High St., Columbus 43235.

Plan for a night out of social and professional exchange, fun, auction-bargain shopping, and support for Chamber programming and scholarships. 

Reds, Whites & Desserts is open to the entire community. You need not be a Chamber member to attend.  The event provides an opportunity to thank and treat employees, entertain a business prospect or favorite client, invite neighbors and friends to a Worthington community event, or create a special date night for you and your "significant other."
