A Culinary Masquerade Fundraising Event Like No Other
Step into an evening of intrigue, elegance, and impact as we celebrate the 10th Annual Hidden Treasure Gala at one of Rhode Island’s most iconic and historic venues – Rhodes on the Pawtuxet. On October 23, 2025, guests will arrive masked in mystery for a night that dazzles the senses and supports the life-changing work of the Brain Injury Association of Rhode Island.
Widely regarded as Rhode Island’s premier charity culinary event, the Hidden Treasure Gala brings together Rhode Island’s top executive chefs and restaurant partners alongside the region’s finest wineries and microbreweries. These culinary masters will present artfully crafted tastings to more than 300 of the state’s most generous and philanthropic guests — an indulgent “foodie heaven” where every bite supports a vital mission.
In Act 1, we invite guests to experience and delight in their interactions with “la crème de la crème” of Rhode Island’s prodigious culinary talents and restaurant partners on the perimeters of the Rhodes Ballroom. Sprinkled in with this magic, and befitting this, our 10th Anniversary celebration, we have some very special and unique moments for guests to experience, not to mention Silent and Super Silent offerings aplenty. We won’t unmask all that’s in store for you on this evening of intrigue and impact.
Act 2 finds our guests in the magic of the Rhodes Ballroom. Big Band music fills the air, together with the “Parade of Chefs” led in to the skirl of the pipes by emcee extraordinaire Sir Jeremy Bell. For those who have encountered the magic of Jeremy before, he’s a “tour de force” for sure; and for new guests yet to encounter his charm, wit and auctioneering skills, you’re in for a treat no doubt. From poignant and touching Fund The Mission stories, via special recognition and awards and finally to fabulous, one-of-a-kind live auction packages, Sir Jeremy will be with you each step of the way. While he won’t reveal what’s under his kilt, he will remove his mask for the evening…….all in support of the magical and impactful work of the Brain Injury Association of Rhode Island.
