August 19th: Raffle Tickets go on sale with a ton of awesome prizes, including a Date with The 806 to Goth Prom (21+)!

August 23rd: The official party kicks off with Silent Auction, drink specials, and more, culminating with a live performance by Gardens Grove @ 9p!

If you or your business would like to donate a gift card for the raffle, items for the silent auction, or simply donate to the supplies fund (we recommend this over donating supplies themselves - we have wholesale accounts set up), please drop by any time.
