Scrumptious eats provided by generous Cheddar’s Scratch Kitchen located at 11004 N Dale Mabry Hwy, Tampa, FL 33618. Cheddar’s provided delicious appetizers, by the way of chicken tenders with honey mustard, nachos and queso and ribs; moms also enjoyed tasty Sunrise “mocktails”.

To complete the night of pampering our moms also experienced mini massage sessions with Veronica Martin from Luxor Spa Massage. Each mom walked away with a swag bag filled with items from each of our participating businesses.

This event would not have been possible without the support of Chi Yoga Studio and their wonderful staff.
