Vibrant Occasions Catering and chef Serge Krikorian catered the Finest Gala 2022 in North Little Rock, Arkansas on Saturday, October 22, 2022 hosted by the Arkansas chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. The new Finest Gala combines the Breath of Life Gala and Taste of the Finest into one event. Guests enjoy live music al fresco under the stars with a fully-catered seated dinner and menu designed by chef Serge Krikorian. The night of celebration honored 30 of central Arkansas’s finest young professionals and the CF Foundation’s top honor, the Breath of Life award, was presented to Terry and Michele Wright.
Since the founding of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation in 1955, they have worked alongside the cystic fibrosis community to effectively transform a genetic disease in a single generation — making CF one of the most amazing stories in medicine today. The mission of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation is to cure cystic fibrosis and to provide all people with CF the opportunity to lead long, fulfilling lives by funding research and drug development, partnering with the CF community, and advancing high-quality, specialized care.
“Vibrant Occasions is always honored to be a part of The Finest Gala benefiting the Arkansas chapter of the Cystic Fibrosis Foundation. A seated dinner served by our amazing staff and a menu created by me and my wife, Mary, is a recipe for success for any event,” said Chef Serge Krikorian with Vibrant Occasions Catering.
“The food by Vibrant Occasions Catering is always delicious and they did not disappoint at The Finest Gala 2022,” said Sydney Rasch with Turner & Rasch, Attorneys, one of the 30 of central Arkansas’s finest young professionals class of 2022 event honorees.
