“Boogie Nights – A Flashback to the ‘70s”
The Fifth Annual Pridelines Youth Services Adult Gala
Press Release
Miami Shores, FL – August 18, 2010 ---
Break out the bellbottoms, pull out the
polyester
and get ready to channel Donna Summer as Pridelines Youth Services
presents it fifth annual adult gala fundraiser – “Boogie Nights – A
Flashback to the ‘70s.” The cocktail reception, silent
auction, dinner and dance will flashback to the era of Greg and
Marsha Brady on Saturday, September 11, beginning at 7 p.m. in the
Treetop Ballroom of Jungle Island. Tickets are $100 each or $1,000
for a table of 10 and are available at
www.pridelines.org.
“The adult gala is
one of the most anticipated Pridelines events of the year,” said Victor Diaz-Herman, executive director. “This
year, we’re returning to our roots with a prom-themed gala so
Pridelines supporters can re-live the prom they probably never had,
with a date they probably weren’t allowed to take. And it will
all take place under the disco ball, of course.”
Money raised from the gala goes to support Pridelines’ mission of
educating and empowering South Florida’s lesbian, gay, bisexual,
transgendered and questioning (LGBTQ) youth and their straight
allies through programming, counseling, support and referral
services from a safe and diverse environment. In addition to
proceeds from ticket sales, an exciting silent auction will help
raise funds for the organization. Among the items and
experiences up for the highest bid is a seven-night stay in
Buenos Aires.
Underwriting for
“Boogie Nights” is graciously provided by 42 Below vodka, with
additional support from Mystique Flowers and Events.
Diaz-Herman says additional sponsorship opportunities are still available by
contacting him at (305) 571-9601.
