Secret Locations. Shared Celebration. One Incredible Cause.


You are invited to CEEF’s inaugural Secret Supper — a unique fundraising adventure that brings our community together through tastefully catered dinner parties at surprise locations. The night culminates when everyone reunites for dessert, drinks, and celebration. All proceeds fund the special initiatives that fall outside the school budget, fostering continued excellence across all three Cape Elizabeth schools.

The Experience:
6:00-8:00 PM: Privately hosted, expertly catered dinner parties across Cape Elizabeth (approximately 10 guests per table).
8:00-11:00 PM: All guests come together for dessert, an auction, and celebration at a central location under wraps until the big reveal.

The “Secret” Element:
Your dinner destination and dining companions will be revealed just before the event, adding an extra level of fun and surprise to the night. 

  • $2000 VIP Table:
    Want to pick your dinner companions? This one’s for you. Dinner and Dessert tickets for up to eight.
  • $800 Double Date Night:
    Share the night with a few friends. Dinner and Dessert tickets for four.
  • $150 Individual Ticket:
    Come solo for an evening of culinary surprises and new connections, or bring a date for an elevated night out with a twist.
  • $75 Sweet Celebration Only:
    Can’t join the dinner fun? Attend the shared celebration for dessert, auction, drinks, and dancing.

Secret Supper – FAQs:

Wait, it’s actually a SECRET? When do I find out where I’m eating?

Yes, it’s really a secret! You’ll receive your dining location shortly before the event date. We promise it’s worth the suspense – and your dinner conversation will definitely include comparing notes about the mystery!

What if my friends and I bought separate tickets? Will we be at different tables?

If you purchased individual tickets, you’ll likely be seated at different secret locations for dinner. But don’t worry – you’ll reunite with all your friends for the dessert reception, auction, and celebration! Plus, you’ll have twice as many stories to share about your separate dinner adventures.

Can I request to dine with my friends?

Absolutely! You can purchase up to 2 tickets to dine together, grab a $800 “Double Date” package for 4 people, or go all-in with a $2,000 table where you hand-select all your dinner companions (up to 8 guests).

What if I’m terrible at small talk with strangers?

Perfect – that’s what good food and shared mystery are for! Plus, you’ll all have plenty to talk about (hint: “So, did anyone else spend the week guessing where we’d end up?”). And since you’re all there supporting Cape Elizabeth schools, you can swap stories about CEEF’s impact – like that amazing robotics program your kid loves or an inspirational visiting artist. If you’re still worried, grab up to 2 friends with your ticket so you’ll have familiar faces at your table.

Do I need to bring anything to dinner?

Just your appetite and your curiosity! Your gracious host will provide everything needed for a wonderful evening. Think of yourself as the guest of honor.

What’s the difference between a $150 ticket and a $75 ticket?

The $150 gets you the full mystery experience – secret dinner location plus the community celebration. The $75 “dessert only” ticket means you skip the secret part and join everyone at 8 PM for desserts, auction, and celebration. Both are great options depending on your schedule and budget!
