Upcoming Events

Illumination Foundation has a rich history of creating events that engage donors, volunteers, corporations and staff. From virtual cooking series classes showcasing chef partners, to educational and advocacy oriented conferences to Carnival for Kids and our annual Chef’s Table gala, we strive to interweave purpose, creativity, joy and value every time people come together and support.

March 24, 2024 • THE DISNEYLAND HOTEL, ANAHEIM

Chef's Table 2024

When top-ranked chefs come together for Illumination Foundation’s Chef’s Table 2024, you’re going to discover all sorts of magic. Our last event occurred in March of this year and featured 36 of Southern California’s most sought after chefs. The evening was filled with hope, elegance, and passion for serving those in need. We look forward to returning to the Disneyland Hotel in 2024 to carry on this unique philanthropic event.

 

October 20, 2023 • Waterfront Beach Hotel

Women's Philanthropy Luncheon

We look forward to our third annual luncheon scheduled for October 20, 2023, at the Waterfront Beach Hotel, a Hilton Hotel in Huntington Beach. Join us as we highlight stories of strength and resiliency and celebrate incredible women who support Illumination Foundation. All proceeds will benefit women in Illumination Foundation’s programs.

Carnival For Kids 2024

Illumination Foundation’s Carnival For Kids was created to provide carefree, summer fun for the low-income and homeless families in Illumination Foundation programs and in the surrounding school districts. Illumination Foundation brings together volunteers, community partners and corporations to ensure that parents and children leave the carnival with school supplies, and connections to vital community resources.
