Get ready for a night of mouthwatering flavors and community impact! Mark your calendar and grab your tickets now for United Way of Southeast Georgia’s 15th Annual Tasting Statesboro… the United Way, happening Wednesday, August 13, 2025, from 5:30–7:30pm at The Anthony P. Tippins Family Training Facility at Paulson Stadium (adjacent to Allen E. Paulson Stadium).
Since 2011, this beloved tasting event has brought together the best of our local culinary scene—all in support of United Way’s mission to uplift and empower our community. This year’s event promises to be bigger and better than ever, featuring more than 30 local restaurants serving up samples of their signature dishes—from breakfast bites and savory entrees to decadent desserts, refreshing coffee, beer, and wine.
And that’s not all—guests will enjoy live music by the popular Tall Paul Trio, bringing the perfect soundtrack to an evening of food and fun.
Why attend?
Because it’s more than just good food—it’s a chance to give back. 100% of proceeds benefit United Way of Southeast Georgia and its partner agencies, directly supporting programs that help families and individuals thrive across our region.
Also returning this year is the popular 50/50 raffle, giving you even more reason to join in on the fun. You don’t have to be present to win.
In 2024, Tasting Statesboro welcomed over 500 attendees, featured 40+ restaurants, and raised more than $52,000 thanks to the generous support of more than 50 local sponsors. It continues to be United Way’s signature fundraising event—and a favorite for the Grice Connect team and community members alike.
