“Howl at the Moon” fundraiser set for October 20th

Leadership Lackawanna will host another “Howl At The Moon” Dueling Pianos Fundraiser on Friday, Oct. 20 at 7 p.m. at The Radisson Lackawanna Station.

The event will feature live entertainment, courtesy of the national “Howl At The Moon” dueling pianos group. Attendees are invited to sing, dance and howl as versatile and talented musicians perform their favorite songs from 80’s rock, 90’s pop and today’s dance hits on pianos and more in a high-energy show.

The event will also feature basket raffles, a selfie station, and other ways for attendees to get their spooky on! Tickets are available now by clicking here and a limited number of tickets will be sold at the door. All tickets include event admission and five raffle tickets for a variety of fantastic prizes.

Attendees can “tip” the musicians to play their favorite song. The higher the tip, the sooner their song plays. All tips go directly to Leadership Lackawanna.

Danielle Weinschenk, Leadership Lackawanna Board of Directors Vice Chair, says the event will be the best one yet.

“Our new location at the Radisson will allow more people to enjoy this fantastic night of dancing, singing and supporting a great cause! Come for the music, stay for the opportunity to win amazing prizes and dance the night away. The Howl at the Moon musicians will play anything from ‘Ghostbusters’ to ‘Bohemian Rhapsody’ – and beyond!”

All proceeds from the event will support Leadership Lackawanna’s mission of enhancing the skills, connections and knowledge of emerging and established leaders in Northeastern Pennsylvania, as well as supporting community service projects conducted by Leadership Lackawanna participants.
