Behind the Scenes of Charlotte’s Sweetest Night: Cookies, Cocktails & Canapés Recap

On October 22, 2025, the Charlotte community came together for one unforgettable evening, Cookies, Cocktails & Canapés. From the first bite to the last song, the night was filled with delicious flavors, heartfelt moments and a shared commitment to funding better treatments for childhood cancer. 

Guests enjoyed small bites and decadent desserts prepared by incredible chefs. Specialty cocktails and mocktails added an extra sparkle to the evening. The auction brought excitement and generosity to new heights, giving everyone the chance to bid on fabulous prizes while supporting a cause that matters.
