COOKING FOR WISHES 2026
Studio 54 - A Night of Funk and Flavor
Date: Thursday, February 19, 2026
Location: Circus Arts Conservatory, Sarasota, Florida
Event Chairs: Terri Klauber, Renee Phinney and Lauren McComb Dixon
Cooking for Wishes 2026 brings the electric energy of Studio 54 to Sarasota with a high energy, interactive culinary experience unlike anything else in our community!
Guests will cook a gourmet multi-course meal right at their table, guided by Michael’s On East Executive Chef Jamil Pineda and Sarasota culinary icon Chef Phil Mancini, with exceptional wine pairings curated by Michael Klauber to elevate each course.
Throughout the night, surprise entertainment and Studio 54 inspired moments keep the energy high and the room alive. It is a night of fun, flavor, music, and movement, all wrapped in a powerful purpose.
While the experience is unforgettable, the heart of the evening is our mission. Every dollar raised stays in our local community to grant life changing wishes for children battling critical illnesses.
Wishes are a necessary part of a child's treatment plan, providing hope, strength, and joy when families need it most. Cooking for Wishes directly fuels our ability to reach every eligible child in our region.
This event WILL sell out.
Secure your table or sponsorship early to be part of this extraordinary night.
