On September 16 at Soil to Soul, the Austin Chapter of Les Dames d'Escoffier International (LDEI) invites you in celebrating more than exceptional food, we're investing in the women who will shape the future of hospitality.

Why Your Support Matters

Behind every successful chef, restaurateur, sommelier, baker, farmer, and hospitality leader is someone who opened a door, offered guidance, or made an opportunity possible.

Your gift helps Les Dames d'Escoffier Austin do exactly that.

Every dollar raised supports:

Scholarships for women pursuing culinary, beverage, hospitality, and food-related careers
Professional development through educational programs and leadership opportunities
Mentorship that connects emerging professionals with accomplished industry leaders
Philanthropic initiatives that strengthen Austin's vibrant hospitality community

Together, we're creating opportunities that last far beyond a single evening.

An Evening with Lasting Impact

Attendance at Soil to Soul is intentionally limited and available through sponsorships, creating an intimate experience that celebrates collaboration, sustainability, and community. While seats are limited, everyone can make an impact by supporting this mission through a donation.

Whether you give $25 or $2,500, your generosity helps cultivate the next generation of women leaders in hospitality.

Because when women thrive, our restaurants flourish, our communities grow stronger, and the future of hospitality becomes more innovative, inclusive, and sustainable.

Help Us Grow Something Meaningful

Your donation is more than a contribution. It's an investment in education, mentorship, opportunity, and the future of women in hospitality.

Thank you for helping us turn passion into possibility and ensuring that the next generation has the support they need to flourish.

Together, let's cultivate a stronger future....from Soil to Soul.
