The sweetest event in Northeast Ohio, Dessert First, is hosted every other year to benefit the over 19,000 girls and 9,000 adult volunteers throughout the Girl Scouts of North East Ohio’s 18-county footprint.
This unforgettable evening begins with guests tasting delicious Girl Scout Cookie-inspired desserts handcrafted by local Northeast Ohio chefs and bakers. The desserts are judged on presentation, creativity, and taste.
Enjoy a delicious array of food stations, while you bid on silent auction items. There will be a short program including chef awards, and a live auction.
Please consider sponsorship opportunities to support the event. You can view our sponsorship information packet, here.
We invite you or your company to donate an auction item, you may do that here.
Thank you in advance for your generous support. Your engagement will have a significant impact on our girls.
