Our 2025 Choose901 Alumni Friendsgiving was an unforgettable evening of amazing food and great community, and it was all made possible thanks to the incredible support of our donors and sponsors. This was truly a night that captured what it means to be part of the Choose901 family.

This year, we were honored to host over 50 young adults from the Choose901 Alumni network. They got to reconnect with the Choose901 Alumni team, community partners, and with each other.

A Night Built for Fellowship

Guests enjoyed a cozy, inviting atmosphere perfect for celebrating together.

The evening featured:

🥘 A buffet-style Friendsgiving dinner featuring mouthwatering dishes from The Four Way and Cozy Corner
🍰 Sweet treats from Dvour Desserts
🍿 Gourmet popcorn from Pop-a-Roos
💐 Stunning floral arrangements by The Mane Wilding
📸 A festive photo booth for capturing holiday-ready memories
🍷 Beer and wine for guests 21+ to enjoy throughout the evening
🎁 First-look access to the Choose901 Holiday Market opening the next day
🧡 A chance to spread holiday cheer by giving to our Friendsgiving Food Drive

It was an experience crafted to foster meaningful alumni + partner connections and celebrate a community that continues to grow stronger each year.
