Bottoms Up Bash
This Bash is kicking butt. Literally.
You’ve never been to a fundraising event like this! On March 6—National Dress in Blue Day—when most people are donning their best blue gear some will also be dancing the night away at the Mellwood Arts Center. Attendees will be bidding on silent auction items, enjoying delicious drinks and great food, and dancing the night away. All of this is to fight the number one cancer killer among non-smoking men and women in the U.S.
The Bash will feature live music by Louisville band Kudmani, heavy appetizers, a dessert bar, blue signature cocktails, wine, beer, and more. Last year, the Bash drew a crowd of over 400 people, and it is expected to be a sell-out this year with over 500 people in attendance.
