— an announcement from OPUS 4 Person to Person
OPUS 4 P2P is turning back the clock to the 1920s Prohibition Era, creating an underground speakeasy and casino.
Guests will have the experience of indulging in a whiskey and bourbon-tasting lounge and a room dedicated to champagne. The event will also feature live and silent auctions with exciting items like 2 tickets to Person to Person’s annual benefit, “Rock N’ Raise”, up for grabs.
“This event is a crucial step towards a brighter future for our community,” said Mariana Kniffen, president of OPUS 4 P2P. “The funds raised will support P2P’s essential services, ensuring we continue making a positive impact on the lives of those in need.”
Feathers & Fedoras will raise funds for P2P’s essential services, including food pantries, clothing, housing assistance, casework support, camperships, layettes for babies, and emergency financial assistance.
