It is all in the name of gaining equitable access to digital fluency in the Patea community, which means Wi-Fi being available to all, as well as a device to access it on.
Ms Ngarewa said that most of the learning is done on devices at Patea Area School.
"We're really aware that when our students leave school, they don't necessarily have internet access, so we have a major divide there," she said.
"If our young people aren't given equitable access, then we are actually disadvantaging them."
The first 20 minutes of the dinner is set to be an intense presentation surrounding global challenges including hunger and poverty.
It would then be followed by the dinner, refreshments and some tunes from local bands.
Ms Ngarewa was not sure what sort of funds would be raised, but said that tickets sold fast.
"What we really want to do is launch the concerns to people that we know, who have the influence to be able to change things," she said.
Up to 250 people are expected to attend the dinner, including local MP's, iwi leaders and education staff.
"I think most people think it's interesting, but people have been absolutely respectful of our event," Ms Ngarewa said.
"Lots of people that could possibly be doing lots of other things have chosen to do this and it's awesome."
