Vibrant Occasions was honored to partner with Cat Sims’ in honor of her latest philanthropic efforts in the Dancing with Our Stars Little Rock fundraiser benefiting the Arkansas Chapter of the Children’s Tumor Foundation. Sims has been chosen as one of the 2023 Stars and kicked off her fundraising campaign with a dinner party in her home called Dinner on the River. The online fundraising campaign is underway and will be ongoing until the gala takes place on September 7, 2023.
The DWOS gala event features a dance competition, where local philanthropists are paired up with professional dancers for their performances. All proceeds from the event go towards funding research and finding a cure for neurofibromatosis (NF), a genetic disorder that causes tumors to grow on nerves throughout the body. The Arkansas Chapter of the Children’s Tumor Foundation works tirelessly to support individuals and families affected by NF, provide education and raise awareness about this serious condition.



Cat Sims invited several of her content creator friends to Dinner in the River to celebrate her DWOS campaign and hopefully boost the amount of funds raised over the next few months while also bringing more awareness to NF and CTF. Anyone can donate to the Arkansas Chapter’s Children’s Tumor Foundation via Sims’ link below:









Tips to a Successful Dinner Party
- Determine your guest list and send out invitations in advance. This will help you plan the menu and make sure you have enough seating and space for your guests.
- Decide on a theme or style for your party. This will help guide your menu and decor choices. For example, you could plan a formal, candlelit dinner party or a more casual potluck-style gathering.
- Plan your menu ahead of time, taking into account any dietary restrictions or food allergies your guests may have. A good rule of thumb is to offer a vegetarian option as well as a meat-based option.
- If you’re not comfortable cooking for a large group, consider hiring a caterer. Make sure to do your research and read reviews before choosing a catering company.

Menu Planning
Consider your guests’ dietary restrictions when planning the menu. Choose a main course that can be prepared in advance so that you have more time to spend with your guests. Offer a variety of dishes that complement each other in terms of flavors and textures.
Hiring a Caterer
If you’re hiring a caterer, make sure they are reputable and experienced. Ask for references and sample menus before finalizing the deal. Make sure you share your vision and expectations for the event with the caterer, including your budget and any dietary restrictions.
Setting a Formal Table
For a complete formal table, start by placing the chargers (large plates used as a base for each setting). Place the dinner plate in the center of the charger, with the napkin on top. To the left of the dinner plate, place the salad fork and the dinner fork. To the right of the dinner plate, place the knife (with the blade facing the plate), the teaspoon, and the soup spoon (if needed). Finally, place the water glass above the knife, and any other glasses to the right of the water glass.
