Get ready to crank up the volume and turn back the clock - it's time to rock for a reason! Join us for a show-stopping evening of 80s rock glamour at our exclusive gala, headlined by none other than American Idol finalist and Broadway sensation Constantine Maroulis, Tony-nominated star of Rock of Ages.

Step into a world of big hair, leather jackets, neon lights, and power ballads as Constantine lights up the stage with iconic hits from Journey, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, and more. This isn't just a performance - it's a full-throttle rock experience that will have you dancing, singing, and partying the night away.

Indulge in decadent food and cocktails with a rock-inspired twist

Sing along to your favorite 80s anthems

Dress in your best glam rock gear and shine under the stage lights

All while raising critical funds for cancer research

This is your chance to be part of an unforgettable night filled with music, nostalgia, and true rock star energy - all for an incredible cause. Let's rock the night and rally for a cure.
