Night at the CasinoFor our 7th anniversary, we're going all in! Our fan-favorite annual cocktail event 'The Fair' is becoming 'A Night at the Casino.'
Try your luck at state-of-the-art casino games, sip on signature cocktails and enjoy gourmet bites, dance the night away with live music from ‘Patrick n Swayze,’ and win big—all while supporting a brighter tomorrow for primary immunodeficiency. Save the date for Friday, May 2nd at 6pm! |
The Screaming PumpkinJoin us for the Screaming Pumpkin, a chilling and thrilling race through Springdale Cemetery! With a 2 mile walk, 6.55 mile run, half marathon, full marathon, or full marathon relay, there's an option for all ages and experience levels! The half, full, and relay are prediction runs. Finish before 10PM! The winner is the closest to 10PM without going over. Invite all of your friends and family to bring their blankets and chairs and join in cheering you on all the way to the finish line! Run or walk... if you dare. Once you start, there is no turning back.
