Supporting a Local Cause
Each year, we partner with a local nonprofit committed to fighting food insecurity—and for 2026, we’re proud to support The Food Pantry of Indian River County. Serving our community since 1987, The Food Pantry provides a critical lifeline to the disadvantaged, unemployed, and underemployed by offering a free supply of shelf-stable foods, frozen meats, and fresh milk (when available). Clients can visit twice per month, and thanks to their 100% volunteer-run model, every donation directly supports those in need. A portion of this event’s proceeds will be donated to help them continue their essential mission right here in Indian River County.

Disclaimer: Tickets are non-refundable, and price adjustments are not available. In the event of a Force Majeure, an alternate date will be provided. If you are unable to attend the rescheduled date, the proceeds from your ticket will be donated to charity. By purchasing a ticket, you acknowledge and agree to this no-refund policy. We appreciate your understanding and support.
