The Community Foundation of the Lake (CFL) will host its 18th Annual Champagne Campaign on Saturday, September 26, 2026, at The Grove at Memory Lane Event Center, 78 Walnut Grove Rd in Eldon, Missouri. Doors open at 4:30 p.m.

This year's theme, “A Toast to Tomorrow,” reflects the Foundation’s commitment to enhancing the quality of life in the Lake of the Ozarks region. Proceeds from the event support grants and services that benefit nonprofits in Camden, Miller, and Morgan counties.

All donations stay within the local three county region.

This year’s Presenting Sponsor is The Villages at Shawnee Bend.

Guests will enjoy a dinner catered by Mama Cita’s Mexican Cantina and Pappo’s Pizzeria & Pub, followed by exciting fundraising activities including a live auction, silent auction, and fun games like Wine Toss and Puppy Races.

Auction highlights include vacation packages to exciting destinations, and many other unique and valuable items. It’s not too late to donate live or silent auction items or to purchase a table sponsorship —local businesses and individuals are encouraged to contribute.

The live auction will be conducted by Bryant Auction, with the silent auction offering a wide variety of items for every interest.

Individual tickets are available for $125. Click here for sponsorships and ticket purchases.

The Champagne Campaign continues to grow each year as a signature event that brings together community members, donors, and businesses for a night of celebration and generosity.
