The sweetest event in Northeast Ohio, the Dessert First Gala, is hosted every other year to benefit the 18,000+ Girl Scouts and 8,000 adult volunteers throughout the Girl Scouts of North East Ohio 18-county footprint.

The unforgettable evening begins with guests tasting delicious Girl Scout Cookie-inspired desserts handcrafted by prominent Northeast Ohio chefs and bakers. The desserts are judged on presentation, creativity, and taste. A formal seated dinner follows, including chef awards and a live and silent auction.
