Her Light & Legacy | An Evening with Alabaster International
About this Event

Join us for a thoughtfully curated evening in support of Alabaster International, bringing together a community rooted in meaningful connection and the power of collective impact.

Alabaster International is a nonprofit working in underserved regions across East Africa and Sri Lanka to expand access to healthcare, nutrition, and essential resources for women and their families. Through close partnership with local leaders, its work is culturally grounded, locally led, and designed for lasting, generational impact.

This Orange County gathering offers an opportunity to connect with purpose, engage with others who share a heart for impact, and learn more about the work transforming lives around the world.

Dine for a Cause – All Day at Deli Nerds

Deli Nerds will be hosting an all-day dine-out fundraiser, with 10% of all food purchases donated to Alabaster International. Guests are encouraged to participate throughout the day, whether joining us for the evening or stopping by earlier to dine in support of the cause.
