Why we do what we do...
80's Party for a Purpose is 100% ran by volunteers and our charity event was started in 2011 by our founder Dean Johnson.
The 80's team consist of 6 Board Members: Kelley Metter, Kristie Swailes, John O'Brien, Tammy Churches, Paul Pirrone, our Graphic Art Director: Cyndie Reiterman, and our totally tubular consultant Kerry Johnson.
We are a group of lifelong friends working together, giving back to raise funds for local Metro Detroit area charities in need. Since our first event in 2011, 80’s Party for a Purpose has raised over $250,000.
Our Mission:
80s Party 4 a Purpose was founded with the goal of supporting local charities by hosting an annual 80s-themed charity event. Through this fun and vibrant celebration, we raise funds and awareness to benefit those in need within our community.
