Plated With A Purpose: Gathering Together and Celebrating KeliB.

An evening to honor, celebrate, and continue KeliB’s passion for serving others. 💛

Plated With a Purpose is more than a fundraising gala — it’s a heartfelt tribute to Kelianne Lynn Brauchle ("KeliB"), whose love for food and heart for people left a lasting imprint on every life she touched.

Held annually on the third weekend of June — near the anniversary of her homegoing — this special evening brings together friends, family, and the community to carry forward KeliB’s legacy in a way that reflects her vibrant spirit and giving heart.

Through beautifully prepared food, fellowship, and philanthropy, Plated With a Purpose raises funds to benefit young people in need — helping them find pathways to brighter futures, just as KeliB always championed.

Guests will enjoy:
🍽️ Chef-curated hors d’oeuvres and dinner inspired by KeliB’s culinary creativity
🍹 Signature drinks and refreshments
🎶 Uplifting entertainment
🎁 A dynamic silent auction
💛 Special moments of remembrance and impact

Cashless Event: For convenience and security, all purchases and donations during the evening can be made via credit card and Venmo.

As Psalm 113:3 reminds us:
"From the rising of the sun to the place where it sets, the name of the Lord shall be praised."
It is in this spirit that we gather — to celebrate KeliB’s life, praise God for the gift she was, and make a difference in the lives of others, just as she did.

Info: Step into an evening where music welcomes and purpose unites. As melodies play, glasses clink, and delicious appetizers are shared, enjoy this special hour to connect — with cherished friends and future friends alike. Together, we gather for a shared purpose, honoring KeliB’s spirit through joy, conversation, and the beauty of being together.

Info: Every bid tonight plants a seed of purpose. All proceeds will be gifted to Those Receiving Seeds of Purpose, helping continue KeliB’s legacy of lifting others and creating new beginnings. Your generosity makes these stories — and hers — continue to grow.

Info: Tonight’s dinner is thoughtfully curated to reflect KeliB’s love for gathering, giving, and great food. Created by Chef Bryan F. and lovingly prepared by her fellow chefs in the kitchen that KeliB loved — each dish celebrates her passion for excellence and her belief that every plate brings people together. Savor, connect, and delight in this shared feast, crafted with love and served with joy.

Info: KeliB cherished every sing-a-long at Woodland Terrace, where songs filled hearts and sparked joy. Bryan, whose music has lovingly touched many older-living communities, brings that same spirit tonight. Join in as we sing familiar favorites and celebrate the simple, lasting joy of voices raised together.

Info: Drumroll, please... ? The bids are in and the winners are about to shine! As you celebrate your winnings (and maybe a little friendly bidding victory), know that each prize sparks something even bigger — tonight’s ripple of generosity. Your gifts are already on their way to make a difference as we step into the next, most meaningful part of the evening. Let’s get ready to give and celebrate together!

Info: Tonight, we hold a sacred space. With love and care, we pass seeds of purpose into the hands of those Keli would have championed. May they feel her light, know her heart, and carry her kindness as they step forward into their own unfolding stories.

Info: As melodies linger and hearts remain full, let this be a time to dwell in the beauty of the evening. Though the sun sets, purpose does not — it rises anew in every story shared, every connection made, and every soul touched by KeliB’s enduring light.
