Guest hosts Aimee Lee Lucas and Jayar Tolentino will oversee the raffle, with prizes of artwork donated by FStudios, TNES and ICELEEF. And DJ EARWAXXX and DJ Phase of Waterhole KINGS will keep the night bumping along with everything from funk to neo-soul. Come for the great time. Stay for the great feeling of doing something good for others.
