Oh What a Night!

On March 7th Tammy Lynn Center hosted the 25th annual A Toast of the Triangle™. Guests who attended this wonderful event sampled cuisine from nearly 40 of the Triangle area's finest restaurants, caterers, wineries, breweries and bakeries. Fabulous raffle and auction items provided fun and excitement for all of those who participated. New to the event this year was a Pastry Competition in which five local bakeries created Toast/Tammy Lynn Center-themed cakes. The event attracted over 1,200 guests and earned over $192,000! Thank you to everyone who helped to make the 2010 Toast a success!

Committee & Volunteers
Each year, a number of dedicated individuals in the Triangle community dedicate their time and talent to help organize and execute the Toast. The Toast committee meets several times in the months leading up to the event and spends their free time assisting in the planning and preparation of the event. Dozens of volunteers sign up to donate their time the night of the event to help with ticket sales and entry, restaurant competition, auction check out and event clean-up. We couldn't do this without your help! Your time and talents are much appreciated, and we hope you'll join us again next year. Thank you!

Until Next Year...
