Here’s your chance to bring a little drama to dinner.
Gather your tablemates, choose a theme, and decorate your table for the evening. Elegant? Outrageous? Theatrical? Completely over the top? We encourage it. Guests will scan QR codes on the tables and add donations to the table they love the most. It never hurts to dress with your table!

WHO IS DAISY?
Dine Out for Daisy supports Daisy’s Friends, The Grand’s program providing students from Galveston and the Mainland with free and reduced-cost opportunities to experience live theater.
For many of these young people, a school trip to The Grand is their very first experience with live professional theater
Daisy’s Friends was created in memory of Daisy Ruth Peterek, whose joyful spirit continues to inspire generosity, imagination, and a love for sharing special experiences with others.
Every table at Dine Out for Daisy helps open The Grand’s doors to another generation.
WHAT CAN ONE DINNER DO?
Every $5 provides a student ticket*
At least 300 STUDENTS can be served by every table at the event
25,000+ students experience programming at The Grand each year*
Tonight’s dinner becomes tomorrow’s first trip to the theater.
DINNER BY GALVESTON RESTAURANT GROUP
