Some nights deserve more than just a dinner reservation.

On February 19, we’re raffling off a complete Cleveland experience — an evening that moves seamlessly from the table to courtside and back again.

One winner will receive the full experience for four guests, including:

• A three-course tasting dinner with wine pairings at EDWINS

• A welcome cocktail to begin the evening

• Transportation provided to and from the game

• Four courtside seats to the Cavs game, with time to enjoy the Caesar’s Club before tip-off

• After-game drinks and cigars at the EDWINS Cigar Bar, including one cigar per guest

The evening begins at 4:30 PM with dinner at EDWINS.

You’ll arrive at the arena by 6:00 PM to enjoy the courtside club before the 7:00 PM tip-off.

After the game, you’ll return to EDWINS to close out the night with drinks and cigars.

Only 200 raffle tickets will be sold at $50 each. One winner takes the entire experience for four.

The winning ticket will be drawn on the evening of Tuesday, February 17, or when all tickets are sold, whichever comes first.

All proceeds support EDWINS Leadership & Restaurant Institute and our mission to create opportunity and change lives through hospitality.

Seats are in Section 107 Row 2 Seats 15-18

It’s an unforgettable night.
