22nd Annual Holiday Celebrity Waiter Dinner

Following a record-breaking year in 2024—raising nearly $80,000 in support of local youth—we're excited to invite you to be part of the 22nd Annual Holiday Celebrity Waiter Dinner, presented by Shoe Sensation!

This cherished event will take place on Tuesday, December 9, 2025, at 6:00 PM at The Foundry in Jeffersonville. More than just a festive evening, it’s a powerful opportunity to make a lasting impact on the lives of vulnerable youth in our community.

This year, we are honoring late CCYS Board Member Judd Penske. Sadly, we lost Judd in October but we know will be at the event sporting his ever supporting spirit. Judd's legacy that began in 2008 will live on for many year's to come. We're proud to dedicate tonight's Celebrity Waiter Dinner to Judd Harcourt Penske.

Clark County Youth Shelter was founded in 1986 as an emergency residential shelter for youth ages 10 to 19 who are experiencing some type of crisis in their homes. We provide basic needs such as shelter, food, clothing, and 24-hour supervision, as well as auxiliary services such as counseling, drug/alcohol awareness, and educational services.

 Since our founding, we have added programs such as Safe Place Program, Family Education and Support classes, Anger Management for Teens, and Shoplifting Prevention. With these, youth and families in Southern Indiana are provided skills and assistance to help them move toward and lead production lives.
