Empty Bowls

Our tenth anniversary Empty Bowls event was everything we had hoped! Over 1600 bowls including traditional ceramic, glass, fiber, and wood filled the display tables. On Monday evening, 600 guests enjoyed fabulous soups from our Presenting Sponsor, Classique Caterers, while over 700 guests on Tuesday enjoyed soups from 7 of Sacramento’s finest restaurants. Our total ticket sales were 1330 and we brought home a net profit of over $102,000.
