The event – cosponsored by Mix 101.5 (WRAL-FM) , Sullivan’s Steakhouse and DowntownRaleigh.com -- will be a charity fundraiser for the Boys and Girls Clubs.

After Oct. 3, tickets are $40 and may be purchased on the website and will be available at the door on the day of the event. A ticket purchase and all other purchases at the event will be considered as tax-deductible contributions to the Boys and Girls Clubs under North Carolina law, according to event organizers.
