Luther Burbank Center – The Art of Dessert Raises $1 Million in Support of the Arts!

Following the close last night of our online auction, the final results are in—our 21st annual Art of Dessert set an incredible new record raising $1 million in support of the arts for all in the North Bay!

We are full of gratitude to be a part of this historic moment—the most successful fundraising event in LBC history! On behalf of the LBC board, staff, and volunteers, and the team at Breathless, thank you for helping make this year’s Art of Dessert fundraiser a milestone success.

You can enjoy photos from Saturday’s event at this online gallery.

If you won an auction item or made a donation at the event Saturday evening, thank you again! You will receive a receipt from Greater Giving by email very shortly. Please be sure to review that receipt. Your credit card on file will be processed Friday, April 12, at noon, unless you have made other arrangements with LBC. If you wish to pay by a different method, please let them know immediately by calling Dawn Sparks at 707-800-7506.

Formal acknowledgments will be sent by mail in the coming days. The LBC deeply appreciates your generosity and patience as they process the many letters of acknowledgement, which they are so grateful to share with so many.

Mark your calendars for next year’s Art of Dessert on April 12, 2025!
