Enjoy 'Moonlight & Madness' with Pioneer Center June 15

This summer, Pioneer Center for Human Services has re-imagined its former gala fundraiser into "Moonlight & Madness" on Friday, June 15.

This fun twist on your standard, run-of-the-mill fundraiser will invite attendees to get their "jive" on as they enjoy period beverages, scrumptious appetizers, a cash bar, 1940s dance lessons and live toe-tapping swing music from 7 to 10 p.m.

The venue location will be the popular Smith's Central Garage, 3315 Pearl St. in McHenry.

Live music will be provided by up-and-coming nonprofit Culture Arts & Music. Guiding the 1940s dance lesson will be Brian Noon, a championship ballroom and Latin dancer.

"This event is not only a unique, Friday night date destination that you can brag to your friends about … but also a retro recreation of a time when jazz music lit up the corner bars across America," said Jordan Debbink, special events and volunteer coordinator for Pioneer Center. "In partnership with Culture Arts and Music of Woodstock, this one-night benefit for Pioneer Center will hopefully be the experience our community has been missing."

Be sure to wear your stepping shoes and bring your date to this unique "night out" experience.

Tickets are limited, so those interested are encouraged to make their reservations as soon as possible.

Tickets are $25 or $45 per couple. Tickets can be purchased at www.pioneercenter.org.

Pioneer Center for Human Services provides a wealth of benefits to the McHenry community and the surrounding area. In addition to helping people experiencing homelessness and providing services for individuals with a developmental disability, Pioneer Center offers behavioral health services. Its youth services are designed to specifically meet the needs of children and families.

Earlier this spring, the Behavioral Health Services division expanded its Jefferson Street location in Woodstock, with both a renovation and the addition of a Child & Family Therapy Services on an outpatient basis.
