Join us this October for Tony Foundation's most anticipated evening of the year—Denim & Diamonds: A Top Chef Dinner Experience.

Hosted once again at the beautiful Oseyo in Austin, this unforgettable evening combines exceptional cuisine, one-of-a-kind experiences, and an incredible mission: providing immediate financial relief to families fighting cancer.

The night begins with an exclusive 60-minute Cocktail Experience unlike anything we've offered before. This isn't your typical cocktail hour—it's an immersive collection of interactive experiences created exclusively for Tony Foundation and available for one night only. Guests will enjoy handcrafted cocktails while exploring unique activations including a custom Tony Foundation Permanent Jewelry Bar featuring exclusive event charms, a Create-Your-Own Perfume & Cologne Experience, a fun 360° video experience, live music, and several additional surprises designed to make the evening unforgettable.

Throughout the evening, guests can also participate in our virtual silent auction, featuring an incredible collection of custom-curated packages, handcrafted items, exclusive experiences, and one-of-a-kind finds. Bid right from your phone all night long while enjoying every part of the event, with new favorites and exclusive items available only through Tony Foundation.

As the Cocktail Experience concludes, guests will be treated to an extraordinary multi-course dinner crafted by Chef Gabe Erales and the talented culinary team at Oseyo, alongside returning friend of Tony Foundation Chef Gabe Erales, winner of Bravo's Top Chef. Known for bringing the vibrant flavors of the Yucatán to Austin, Chef Gabe's bold creativity and unforgettable cuisine continue to make this one of the most talked-about culinary events of the year. Together with additional guest chefs joining the kitchen, this collaboration promises an evening that food lovers won't want to miss.

Perfectly woven throughout the dinner by professional auctioneer Mark Schroeder, our signature Live Auction delivers an exciting, entertaining experience between courses. Guests can look forward to bidding on returning favorites, incredible new packages, and one top-secret finale experience that promises to be unlike anything we've ever offered. With impeccable timing, unforgettable moments, and plenty of friendly competition, it's a highlight of the evening you won't want to miss.

Whether you're joining us for the unforgettable food, the immersive experiences, the exciting auctions, or simply to make a difference, Denim & Diamonds is so much more than a dinner—it's an evening of connection, generosity, and hope.

Come experience an extraordinary night where every bid, every toast, and every seat at the table helps Tony Foundation continue providing immediate financial assistance to families fighting cancer when they need it most.

One night. One unforgettable experience. One incredible impact.
