RED MEAT LOVERS CLUB ANNOUNCES FALL 2026 EVENT SERIES

South Florida’s Premier Culinary Networking Club Returns with Five Events Across Boca Raton, Delray Beach and Fort Lauderdale, Including Its Biggest Gala

BOCA RATON, FL, UNITED STATES, August 20, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- The Red Meat Lovers Club (RMLC), the private dining and business networking club founded by Evan Darnell, today announced its Fall 2026 event series: five gatherings across Palm Beach and Broward counties ranging from a midday chamber celebration to the club's largest fundraising gala of the year. Each event features venue buyouts, curated open bars, craft meats, charitable giving, and the signature RMLC atmosphere that has raised more than $2.5 million for nonprofit organizations since 2017.

“For anyone who hasn’t experienced one of these evenings, this is the season to join us,” said RMLC Founder Evan Darnell. “Guests arrive for the food and leave having made real connections and supported causes right here in our own community.”

The full RMLC Fall 2026 Event Series lineup is as follows:

“A Lunch of Opportunity” | Centsible Solutions Ribbon Cutting
Monday, August 24, 2026 • 11:00 AM – 1:00 PM
Boca Raton Regional Chamber of Commerce | 1800 North Dixie Highway, Boca Raton, FL 33432

RMLC opens its fall calendar with a midday “Meat Our Sponsors” gathering at the Boca Raton Regional Chamber of Commerce, held in conjunction with the Chamber’s ceremonial ribbon cutting for Centsible Solutions, the outsourced CFO and financial advisory firm and RMLC Partner in Prime. Lunch is provided by Windy City Pizza — including the Secretary of Steak’s go-to chicken wings, pizza and penne alla vodka — with dessert by Glazed & Fueled. Live and silent auction fundraising will benefit charity partner The Fuller Center. The lunch is free to attend and open to all, with optional $15 and $25 donation tickets available for those who wish to chip in. Advance registration is required so the kitchen can plan a head count.

Red Tuna Lovers Club Debut | AlleyCat & Sunset Sushi Takeover
Wednesday, August 26, 2026 • 7:00 – 10:00 PM
AlleyCat | 297 East Palmetto Park Road, Boca Raton, FL 33432

Two nights later, RMLC takes over AlleyCat and Sunset Sushi in downtown Boca Raton for the debut of the Red Tuna Lovers Club — a collaboration between Chef Eric Baker and Darnell five years in the making. The centerpiece of the evening is a whole bluefin tuna broken down on site, served alongside the beef offerings expected of any RMLC “meating” and dishes drawn from both the AlleyCat izakaya and omakase-inspired Sunset Sushi menus. Caviar Guys will rove the room with caviar service, and a curated open bar, live and silent auction, and signature RMLC raffle round out the night. Proceeds benefit The Fuller Center, which is dedicated to embracing, educating and empowering hardworking, under-resourced families and children so they can reach their full potential. In addition to raising funds, the club will help the organization recruit adult mentors.

"Meat Our Sponsors" Business Networking Lunch
Thursday, September 10, 2026 • Gallagher's Steakhouse, Boca Raton

A networking lunch for RMLC's Partners in Prime, where each sponsor company pitches its business to the room. A limited number of underwriting tickets are available to outside businesses at www.deliciousanimals.com.

"A Meaningful Meating" for Play for Blake | Presented by The Power of Sports, Werner Hoffman Creig & Garcia and Ver Ploeg & Marino
Friday, September 18, 2026 • 7:00 – 10:00 PM
Museum 66 South | 261 Northwest 18th Avenue, Delray Beach, FL 33444

The club's largest event of the fall, and its fourth consecutive year supporting Play for Blake, takes over Museum 66 South, the newly opened luxury car storage and social club. Play for Blake was founded in 2023 by Amy and Darren Buchbinder in memory of their son Blake, a local teenager whose love of sports the foundation now carries forward. The 501(c)(3) has distributed more than 5,000 soccer balls to middle school programs across Palm Beach County and internationally, working to build confidence, teamwork and life skills in economically disadvantaged children. Chef Jason Savino and the Potions in Motion team will build a coed feast of sushi and tuna taco stations, sliders, hot dog Wellington, chicken lollipop wings and a grazing table, followed by a seated "Turf & Turf" course of grilled strip steak and braised short ribs and a closing Glazed & Fueled donut installation. An open bar will be available throughout, and all auction proceeds will be donated to Play for Blake. The evening is presented by The Power of Sports, the Boca Raton foundation founded by Michelle Hagerty that works to expand access to soccer and youth sports, alongside headlining sponsors Werner Hoffman Creig & Garcia and Ver Ploeg & Marino.

“The Family Feast” | Anthony’s Runway 84 Takeover for Pinkball
Monday, October 19, 2026 • 7:00 – 10:00 PM
Anthony’s Runway 84 | 330 West State Road 84, Fort Lauderdale, FL 33315

RMLC closes out the fall with a rare Monday-night full buyout of Anthony’s Runway 84, the Fort Lauderdale landmark and, by his own admission, the Secretary of Steak’s favorite restaurant — a takeover the restaurant has granted only a handful of times. Now in its fifth year of partnership with Josie Williams and the Runway 84 team, the club will work its way through the restaurant’s full menu across meat stations, pasta stations and more, paired with a curated bar of wine, beer and specialty cocktails. A live auction, silent auction and raffle will benefit Pinkball, the organization founded by local baseball moms that funds screening and diagnostic mammograms and breast ultrasounds for uninsured and underinsured women who may not qualify for other grants. All money raised through the auction will be donated.

Tickets ($188): www.rmlcforpink.com

RMLC will announce its holiday and end-of-year lineup in the coming weeks and continues its chapter expansion nationwide. Businesses and organizations interested in sponsorship opportunities can reach out directly at sos@redmeatloversclub.com.
