A Nostalgic Night Out Attendees are invited to travel back in time with a nostalgic “Back to the Future” theme. Guests are encouraged to embrace the spirit of the films by donning attire fit for a 1950s Saturday Night Dance or rocking festive garb from the 1980s.

-
Live Music: Performance by The Rockefellers.
-
Dining: A catered dinner provided by Savour First Choice Catering.
-
Fundraising: An auction featuring original items and experiences, along with a “Paddles Up” opportunity.
