Tickets available for Glen Ellyn Food Pantry "Celebration of Tables" fundraiser

Tickets are available for "Celebration of Tables," the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry's annual fundraiser in partnership with Glen Ellyn Newcomers & Neighbors Club.

The event will be held on March 12, at Arrowhead Golf Club in Wheaton.

Similar to a house walk but with tables, the afternoon will feature more than 20 tablescapes designed by local individuals and businesses that will inspire hundreds of attendees as they stroll around looking for creative ways to entertain. Light bites and libations will be served.

"Early bird" individual ticket price is $55 through Wednesday, Feb. 15.

From Feb. 16 to March 10, the cost is $65 per ticket. On March 12, it will be $75 at the door.

Raffle tickets are also available in advance. All proceeds benefit the Glen Ellyn Food Pantry and its efforts to "Make Hunger History" in DuPage County.

Tickets are available at CelebrationofTables.com.
