Thank you to The Longest Table Volunteers!
You helped us raise over $17,000 for The Atrium
This year’s Longest Dinner Table was a huge success - thanks to your help! Whether you were doing heavy lifting, carefully laying out decorations, hustling to sell raffle tickets, or organizing supplies at the end of the night, your impact was invaluable. All the money raised will go towards supporting our new building project, The Atrium, to support Tahoe’s youth, strengthen food access, and expand all our programs.
Thank you to our raffle runners — you brought in $5,700 in 2.5 hours!
A special shoutout to Edgewood Tahoe Resort for sending 12 volunteers to help during the event. We are so happy to partner with you and so glad you had fun! Also thanks to our long-time Marcella Foundation volunteers who returned for a second year to help us sell raffle tickets. You’re the best!
Our long table was assembled in record time
There were 133 tables and 798 chairs set up in one large rectangle, all thanks to the South Tahoe High School Football Team. Your helping hands made the long table come to life— spanning three blocks — which is no easy thing to do. Then the players who disassembled the tables, you helped our crew pack every table into the truck in just 13 minutes!
Once all the tables were assembled, the wonderful crew from Hands4Hope made the event pop by decorating with 133 tablecloths, 133 table numbers, 532 table clips, and 266 vases. The same team also helped pack everything efficiently at the end of the night, all done within an hour!
We could not have done it without you
This is such a beloved community event that has grown for 6 years, and we needed lots of help to make it grow again in 2026. You made it possible for 800 members of our community to enjoy a potluck, costume content, and a true party with a purpose. Our team from The Longest Table and the Marcella Foundation could not be more grateful for your support, time, and energy. Plus, we hope you had fun too — there will be more tables next year, and we’d love to have you join again!
We appreciate you making this event such a success!
All the best —
Chris, Tor, Darcie, Melissa, Lily, Dre, & Sean
