The Big Brash 80's Bash

The event is a night of dinner, dancing, live and silent auctions and BIG 80s fun - all to benefit the Dobbs Ferry Schools! The gala is Dobbs Ferry's biggest party with approximately 300 guests, and is the major fundraising event for the Dobbs Ferry Schools Foundation. Since its creation in 1994, the Dobbs Ferry Schools Foundation has raised over $4.5 million through individual contributions, as well as public and private grants. Started by a handful of dedicated parents, the DFSF is now a working board of close to 30 community members who partner with the faculty and staff of the district. This year, for the first time, the DFSF will hold its event at LIFE, The Place to Be, which is a modern industrial event space on the cutting edge of special event venues. As Westchester'??A???A???A???A?s first alternative to traditional ballrooms and event spaces, LIFE features 25,000 square feet of flexible event space, offering all of the conveniences and requisite technology of a full-service banquet facility. LIFE was a "Best of Westchester" award winner for 2010, 2011, and 2012. The Dobbs Ferry Schools Foundation (DFSF) is a partner with the Dobbs Ferry Union Free School District in the development of an outstanding system of public education by promoting excellence in all aspects of learning. The DFSF Board selects programs for funding that support the strategic goals of our district. Whether the programs target a specific grade or an entire school, the end result is a stronger, richer community of learners. From technology to the arts to reading, writing and math, the DFSF supports diverse programs that advance student learning.

It's the 80's! You can come in your preppie shirt or shoulder pads, or just come as the 21st Century version of yourself. Dress code is casual.
