About this event

Doors open at 7:00 PM each night! $1 from every ticket sold goes to Eddie’s Hugs. Eddie’s Hugs is a nonprofit organization dedicated to increasing awareness, reducing stigma, and supporting those affected by mental illness. Inspired by the life of Eddie Derhak, we strive to offer connection, compassion, and hope to individuals of all ages—especially young adults—through advocacy, education, and community outreach.

Our mission is to raise awareness, fund mental health initiatives, and help prevent suicide—one hug, one heart, one life at a time.
