Our Mission

Our mission is to bring communities together for fun-filled events that raise money and awareness for different charities each year. We strive to create memorable experiences while making a positive impact on those in need.

This Year’s Cause:

We’ve come a long way since the first backyard fundraiser, but some things are worth circling back to. This year, we’re bringing it home and supporting a cause that’s close to our hearts: Ellie’s Hats.

If you’ve never heard of them, Ellie’s Hats started small, just like us. One man named Jay Coakley wanted to lift the spirits of a young girl named Ellie who was battling cancer. He began sending fun, colorful hats to kids like her, doing what he could to brighten their days. Over time, Ellie’s Hats grew into something powerful. They now send care packages to children with cancer all over the country and provide direct financial help to families in need. Jay isn’t just the founder—he’s a friend. And we’ve seen the impact of his work. Every dollar we raise makes a real difference for families going through the toughest time of their lives.

So this year, come hang out. Come dance. Come donate. Let’s make some noise for the kids, the families, and a mission that means so much more than just a hat.
