You finally get to show off your dusty dance moves.

A 1990s arcade atmosphere awaits your mostly forgotten skills at the Green Haven After Dark late-night fundraiser on November 9 at the Orillia Square Mall.

Hosted by a local drag queen, the Orillia not-for-profit hopes to raise $20,000 for its child and youth program to buy essential supplies, staffing and support to children impacted by gender-based violence.

"This is your chance to enjoy a memorable night out while making a tangible difference in the lives of children affected by domestic violence," said Linda Reid, executive director of Green Haven. "Whether you’re bringing friends, family, or coworkers, Green Haven After Dark is sure to be a fun night filled with excitement that will make a difference."

Event highlights

The event is put on with the help of a variety of local sponsors whose generous support will help make Green Haven After Dark a night to remember.

Tickets are on sale now with early-bird pricing of $75 available until November 1.
