This year’s Cork & Fork will be held at a new venue! We’re excited to host the event at The Continental, a newly opened event space in Midtown Anchorage with easy access. Formerly Matanuska Brewing, this venue offers a fresh and stylish setting for our gathering.
While we’ve moved indoors, the garden theme remains! With the support of Green Connection, we’ll be transforming the space with lush greenery and beautiful plants.
Without worrying about the weather or temperature, we invite you to dress up and fully enjoy our Indoor Garden-Themed Gala.
Event Report
On June 2nd, the biennial Cork and Fork was held at The Continental in Midtown.
This year’s garden themed gala was transformed into a lush indoor oasis thanks to generous contributions from Green Connection , who provided beautiful plants and centerpieces; Residential Mortgage, who offered mini potted plants in mugs as welcome gifts; and Bishop's Attic—Anchorage, who added elegant drapery decorations.
More than 100 guests gathered to enjoy live jazz music and a curated selection of wines.
In addition to the silent and live auctions, we hosted a unique fundraising event called the Dessert Dash, where guests raced to claim homemade desserts prepared by homeowners.
With heartfelt video messages from homeowners and an inspiring speech by Ryan from our Board of Directors, we were proud to share our mission and bring warmth and connection to the room. It was an unforgettable and wonderful evening!
We sincerely thank everyone who attended, along with the many local businesses, organizations, and volunteers who generously supported the event.
We look forward to seeing you again in two years!
