Celebrity Waiter Gala 2025

Get ready to make a difference while having an unforgettable evening at the Celebrity Waiter Gala 2025! This one-of-a-kind event brings together local stars, community leaders, and familiar faces to serve up an evening of entertainment, laughter, and generosity—all in support of a great cause.

Mark your calendars for September 27th, as we transform Maner Conference Center into a dazzling space where fun meets philanthropy. Throughout the night, our celebrity waiters will compete to earn your tips, which directly support Child Care Aware® of Eastern Kansas's mission to support the healthy development of young children by improving access to high-quality child care options and educational resources for families and early childhood professionals.

This year's gala promises something for everyone—a delicious dinner, exciting auctions, creative games, and plenty of surprises. Whether you're cheering on your favorite celebrity waiter or bidding on exclusive items, you'll be part of a movement that changes lives.

Your support makes it possible for Child Care Aware® of Eastern Kansas to offer professional development for child care providers, increase access to quality child care, and build a stronger community for children and families. Together, we can shape a brighter future, one step at a time.

Secure your spot today—tickets are limited, and this is an evening you won't want to miss. Let’s come together for an extraordinary night of fun, food, and fundraising at the Celebrity Waiter Gala 2025. See you there!
