Sweeten the Night and Donate to the Dessert Dash

A highlight of A Golden Era Auction, the Dessert Dash blends generosity with a dash of friendly competition—and this year, we’re aiming to raise $25,000 through this spirited tradition. To make it a success, we need your help!

We’re seeking dazzling desserts that serve at least 12 people—think towering cakes, glossy tarts, decadent pies, or anything that might spark a sprint across the ballroom. You can donate a homemade masterpiece or purchase a treat from a favorite local bakery to support small businesses.

Special offer from Sweetside Bakery.  Sweetside Bakery is making it easier than ever to contribute. Place your order, and they’ll deliver your dessert directly to the auction—no need to select delivery or a location. Once all orders are in, they’ll work with our committee to curate a delicious variety of cakes, pies, cheesecakes, cookies, and more. Even if your order says pickup is required, rest assured: Sweetside will handle the delivery!

If you plan to request a donation from a bakery or business, please get in touch with us first at procurement@stjosephsea.org. Our team is coordinating requests and wants to avoid duplication.

Let’s make this year’s Dash golden.
