A Night to Die For is an interactive murder mystery wedding reception benefiting Connections Early Learning Center. Guests are invited to step into a three-part evening of suspense, celebration, unexpected twists, prizes, art, and community connection—all unfolding in the middle of a wedding reception dinner where not everything goes according to plan.

Connections Early Learning Center is a community-centered early learning program rooted in curiosity, collaboration, and real-world connection. Through hands-on learning, local partnerships, hot meals, and meaningful community engagement, we believe children thrive when they grow within a strong, connected “village.”

This annual fundraiser supports the daily operations and enrichment programming that make our work possible. The evening will also feature silent auction baskets curated through collaborations with local businesses, highlighting the strength and creativity of our broader community.

Curious about what we do—and the impact community collaboration has already made? Visit our website to explore our mission, our projects, and our growing track record of turning community support into real, visible outcomes. As for the mystery itself… we’ll let you solve that part on your own.
