Farm to Tableaux wasn’t just an event—it was an experience that left hearts full and spirits lifted! This vibrant evening united the best of farm-to-table dining with breathtaking living art inspired by Andy Warhol, all in support of a deeply meaningful cause: Ryker’s Rainbow.

At the heart of this unforgettable night was the story of Ryker, the beloved son of the Schoff family, whose short life brought immeasurable light. Born at 37 weeks, Ryker entered Heaven before his family could hold him. In his memory, Ryker’s Rainbow was created to help other families facing unimaginable loss. The foundation stands as a beacon of hope, providing assistance and comfort to families who, like the Schoffs, have experienced the devastating loss of a child.

Farm to Tableaux brought Ryker’s light to life, from the creative tableaux vivants to the powerful live performance by renowned speed artist Michael Israel, famous for his 9/11 tribute “Hero.” Michael’s jaw-dropping performance raised an incredible $26,500, directly benefiting Ryker’s Rainbow and helping further their mission of providing support and comfort to grieving families.

With every bite of locally sourced cuisine, every sip of craft cocktails, and every stroke of Michael’s brush, the spirit of Ryker’s Rainbow was felt deeply. The silent and live auctions, packed with unique experiences and treasures, kept the excitement rolling, and the limited Mystere Box Raffle added a thrilling element of surprise.

This event was more than just an evening of art and food—it was a celebration of love, light, and the enduring power of community. Thanks to the generous contributions of all involved, Ryker’s Rainbow continues its mission, spreading light and offering hope to families in their darkest times.
