In an inspiring celebration of community impact and partnership, downtown Dayton will play host to “Proof: An Exclusive Fundraising Experience.” The event, taking place at Sueño— the flagship restaurant of the Idea Collective—promises an evening dedicated not only to exquisite cuisine but also to meaningful collaboration.
The Oak & Ember Foundation, renowned for its commitment to fostering education, career pathways, and community growth, will spotlight the remarkable outcomes of its three-year collaboration with Kettering City Schools. Dubbed the “Proof of Concept,” this initiative highlights tangible achievements made possible through strategic partnerships that empower local youth and educational programs.
Attendees can expect an immersive experience that marries culinary artistry with community spirit. The evening will feature a curated menu showcasing signature dishes from Sueño, Tender Mercy, Dozo, and an exclusive sneak peek of the highly anticipated upcoming venue, Three Birds. Complementing the dining experience will be live entertainment and a series of raffles, adding a vibrant, celebratory touch to the night.

Tickets for this exclusive dinner include an unforgettable culinary journey paired with live entertainment, while a cash bar will offer limited beverage options. The event serves as both a celebration of past successes and a launchpad for future community initiatives, ensuring that every guest leaves with a sense of purpose and pride in the impact of local partnerships.
Organizers encourage community members and supporters to join in this unique evening of dining, entertainment, and philanthropy. “Proof is our way of showing that when we come together, the possibilities for positive change are endless,” a spokesperson for the Oak & Ember Foundation remarked.
With its blend of gourmet cuisine, live entertainment, and a clear mission for community upliftment, “Proof” is poised to be a highlight of Dayton’s social calendar this spring.
