-- Vibrant Occasions Catering is proud to announce its continued sponsorship of the annual "Breakfast with an EMpact" fundraising event, hosted by The EMpact One Foundation. The community breakfast will take place on Thursday, July 17, 2025, from 7:00 AM to 10:00 AM at First Security Bank, located at 205 W. Carpenter Street in Benton, Arkansas.
This marks another year of Vibrant Occasions Catering's commitment to supporting local nonprofits that directly benefit the communities they serve. The breakfast fundraiser supports EMpact One Foundation's mission to empower, motivate, and inspire individuals and communities to create positive change, with a particular focus on youth and their families.
Vibrant Occasions Catering will serve two signature breakfast options that have become community favorites:
- OMG! French Toast: Fresh brioche stuffed with mascarpone and topped with vanilla mascarpone with a touch of maple and topped with fresh strawberries and toasted coconut
- Taco Breakfast Bowl: Country-fried potatoes topped with scrambled eggs, shredded brisket, cotija cheese, and fresh pico de gallo
The EMpact One Foundation focuses on transforming the way youth impact the world through various programs and initiatives. The foundation's mission objectives include:
- Providing access to high-quality experiences for children and families
- Building character and emotional intelligence within children
- Empowering youth through leadership training and development opportunities
- Promoting inclusivity and cultural infusion
- Supporting the physical and mental wellness of children and youth
- Advancing parent, sibling, and community support through training and resources
Through programs like the Tuition Assistance Program, EMpact One provides financial assistance to give more youth access to the physical, mental, and emotional benefits of athletic programs including gymnastics, swimming, soccer, and much more.
"At Vibrant Occasions Catering, we believe in the power of community coming together to support our youth," said Chef Serge Krikorian. "This annual breakfast fundraiser allows us to use our culinary skills to make a meaningful impact in Saline County. When we can serve delicious food while helping provide opportunities for young people to thrive in athletics and leadership development, that's exactly the kind of event we're passionate about sponsoring."

About Vibrant Occasions Catering:
Chef Serge Krikorian and his wife, Mary Krikorian, started their catering business in 2002 and have been in the family restaurant business since 1994. Having catered thousands of events over the years as Dinner’s Ready, they launched Vibrant Occasions Catering, a new name that more accurately depicts the level of food and service provided at weddings and social events. Krikorian was born in Lebanon and moved to the United States with his family as an adult entering college. He now hails from the quaint town of Benton, Arkansas. His southern hospitality paired with his penchant for developing unique international fusion-style recipes, especially sauces, has garnered his reputation as foodies' fan favorite in his community and now on the Youtube space for his cooking show, Cooking with the Kriks. After years of dreaming about owning a mobile kitchen, in December 2020, Serge and Mary launched Our Mobile Kitchen with the intention of providing fresh, 5-star quality chef-prepared cuisine to patrons visiting where the mobile kitchen is parked or on site for catered weddings and social, private or corporate events. Krikorian is an alumnus of Henderson State University where he studied business earning his Bachelor’s Degree and met his wife, Mary. He earned his MBA from the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. Serge became a restaurant entrepreneur when he purchased an old, run-down pizza parlor he and Mary revived called Sergio’s Pizza. After a few years, they knew the restaurant business was not for them. Mary booked their first official catering gig, much to Serge’s surprise. They began receiving more and more requests for catering luncheons and events. The catering business took over after six months and they never looked back. They have three sons who often work in the business around their academic and career schedules, making their enterprise a family-built business.
