Get ready for ’80s-inspired neon outfits, synth-heavy music, mouthwatering food and drinks, and an awesome community coming together for a good cause. Whether you’re a time-travel nerd, a Back to the Future fan, or a passionate animal welfare advocate, this is one night you won’t want to miss. Proceeds will support Second Chance Animal Rescue Society (SCARS) and its rescue and rehoming efforts for animals who are homeless, unwanted, or at risk of euthanasia.
