Dubbed by chapter members as the party of the summer, party goers can expect music from a range of decades including the ‘60s, ‘70s, ‘80s, ‘90s, and ‘00s – in addition to a Soul Train Scramble Board, Old School Dance Off, Name That Tune and so much more.
Karan Rhodes, President, Upsilon Alpha Omega Chapter said, “We invite the community to join UAO and enjoy a date night, girls’ night, guys’ night or friends’ night out- dancing and laughing the night away. We are proud to bring to the metro-Gwinnett community such a rare offering to partake in a fun-filled night in the name of community service! What happens at Old Skool Takeover, stays at Old Skool Takeover!”
UAO members are excited to offer a “blast from the musical past-oriented” fundraising effort as they strive to execute additional service offerings to the community. Proceeds from the “Old Skool Takeover” will not only benefit the chapter’s Beauty P. Baldwin Scholarship fund, but will also allow the chapter to further extend its charitable arm.
Tickets can be purchased online for $31 at mkt.com/GPS/tickets. Two rooms, two dance floors, a full bar and full food service make this event a party with a purpose and a whole lot of fun. Party goers are encouraged to wear their best 60s, 70s, or 80s outfit.
Althea Lawton-Thompson, Old Skool Takeover Chairman said, “I have never before had this much fun planning and implementing a fundraiser. We get to listen to timelessly great music, wear fabulous outfits, and mingle with fantastic people as we raise money for scholarships for Gwinnett’s high school seniors. It doesn’t get any better than this!”
