This signature community event will throw back to some of the greatest classics ever made for an evening of fun and fundraising. Dress as your favorite TV character of yesteryear. Whether you come as Fonzie from Happy Days, Jeannie from I Dream of Jeannie, or Fred and Wilma from the Flintstones, come on out to have some fun, win some prizes and help us set the stage for zero tolerance of abuse and support our local survivors.
