On behalf of the NCC Food & Wine Gala Committee, thank you to our loyal sponsors and friends for your continued support. The 2025 Gala, held in the Arthur L. Scott Spartan Center, was a record-breaking success, raising $350,000 with nearly 430 attendees.
To date, the event has generated $3.1 million for student scholarships, transforming lives and providing access to high-quality education. We’re thrilled to announce a special collaboration between Master of Wine Chris Cree of Cree Wine Company and Paxos Corporate Executive Chef Christopher Heath as our 2026 headliners on May 29, along with Wind Creek Bethlehem as our Founding Partner Sponsor.
We look forward to your continued support!

Our heartfelt thanks to both Mike and Diane Molewski for their incredible dedication to the Gala since its inception. Originally a festival, the event was Mike’s visionary brainchild, and he chaired the festival for 10 years. Mike and Diane’s passion for fine wine has been an inspiration in how the event has grown and evolved over the years.
