Handy to Host “A Gala from Outer Space” Themed Fundraiser

On Saturday, October 5, Handy (Helping Advance and Nurture the Development of Youth), will host its annual Homecoming event at The Venue in Wilton Manors from 7:00 pm — 11:00 pm.

This year’s out-of-this-world event of cosmic proportions will promise an evening of music, fashion, and extraterrestrial extravagance. Attendees will enjoy entertainment, music, and passed hors d’oeuvres. There will be food stations and specialty cocktails at this adult-only soirée. All funds raised will support Handy’s Back-to-School program, which provides all the necessary essentials to fulfill the education expenses of Handy youth. Active members of the local community will be nominated to the 2024 Homecoming Court and tasked with raising funds to support the Handy mission. The individuals who raise the most money will be crowned the Homecoming King and Queen during the event.

Tickets are $150 each and can be purchased here: https://www.handyinc.org/events/handy-homecoming-a-gala-from-outer-space/. For those interested in being a part of this year’s Homecoming Court, please contact Desiree Saunders at [email protected].
