As the Gala quickly approaches, we are thrilled to introduce the final culinary masters joining our incredible lineup of chefs. The excitement is building and we can’t wait to gather together and savor an unforgettable evening. We look forward to sharing every delicious bite with you!

Morning Fork
A local favorite providing the “ultimate brunch experience” with classic breakfast as well as brunch and lunch favorites with a twist. Morning Fork also features Fork & Barrel, a perfect place for your next private dining experience with upscale, refined American cuisine and a focus on local ingredients and southern hospitality. 

Mesa Kids Cooking School
Located in the heart of downtown New Albany, Indiana, Mesa Kids is passionate about equipping children and families with lifelong skills through hands-on cooking experiences. Since opening our doors in 2018, we have welcomed thousands of kids into our kitchen for engaging classes, camps and workshops designed to build confidence, creativity and independence. More than just recipes, we teach teamwork, responsibility and the joy of sharing meals together. At Mesa Kids, we believe the kitchen is one of the most powerful places to learn, connect and grow.

Starlight Coffee
Established in 2002, Starlight Coffee Company is the oldest and only roasting coffee shop in Southern Indiana. We roast our own beans locally, in Sellersburg, Indiana and work with green bean buyers to acquire the highest grade specialty coffee. 

We’re honored to partner with these outstanding local chefs as they help create an evening that celebrates excellence, community and generosity. While limited seats are still available, we hope you’ll choose to join us on March 12, to enjoy these incredible flavors and support the mission of Christian Academy.
