Ultimate Tailgate is Spoonfuls’ biggest fundraiser of the year, bringing together dozens of the region’s best restaurants and chefs for an incredible night of foodie fun.
Thank you to everyone who helped make our 2026 event a success! Didn’t get a chance to donate or weren’t able to make it in person? You can still support our work today!
Inspired by the beloved pre-game and pre-concert ritual of gathering with loved ones over our favorite foods, Spoonfuls’ Ultimate Tailgate brings our community together to enjoy Tailgate-inspired bites from acclaimed Greater Boston chefs and restaurants while rallying support for a common cause: Fighting wasted food and hunger.
Ultimate Tailgate raises critical funds to ensure Spoonfuls can get more food to more people who need it. In 2026, Tailgate raised $700,000 – enough to create 560,000 meals – thanks to the generosity of our supporters.
By attending Ultimate Tailgate, you’re helping our mission to deliver food with purpose go further, contributing to the recovery of 50 million pounds of food and counting since our founding.
