The Tea Rose Foundation 

Celebrity Waiter Fundraiser Gala

Purchase tickets, ADs & sponsorships

Phi Alpha Omega Chapter, in partnership with the Tea Rose Foundation of Northwest Arkansas, hosts an annual fall fundraiser, historically called Celebrity Waiter. Funds raised not only provide college scholarships for deserving high school, undergraduate, and graduate students from our community, but also support our health, education, social justice, and poverty initiatives. Since its inception, more than 300 students have been awarded scholarships valued at almost $400,000. 


The 24th Annual Celebrity Waiter Fundraising Gala will celebrate Excellence in Black Entrepreneurship and will feature Celebrity Waiters who are Black Entrepreneurs. Join us as we recognize our 2023 scholarship recipients and raise funds to support community initiatives throughout NWA.
