One steamy night!
Fireball 2009 was a sold out event and this year we are turning up the heat with a Russian inspired theme. Escape into the world of Russian Heat with an all inclusive evening of food, entertainment and much more!
The Party
Fireball brings together over 500 of the city’s movers and shakers to the Capitol Event Theatre for a steamy night on the town. Guests are invited to sip on cocktails, indulge in oysters on the half shell, enjoy Russian inspired delicacies, bid on sizzling silent auction items and test lady luck at the raffle. The dance floor moves and grooves all night long and is awash with red-clad guests keeping rhythm with the DJ. This year it’s guaranteed to be the hottest ticket in town celebrating Russian Heat!
The Cause
Fireball’s goal is to raise much needed funds for Sheena’s Place; a non-profit organization providing support for men and women affected by eating disorders. Since its inception in 1999, Fireball has raised over $850,000 net for programs at Sheena’s Place.
Eating disorders have the highest mortality rate of any mental illness. Over 15% of people with anorexia will die from complications related to their disorder. With only 20 publicly funded beds and limited private inpatient beds wait times can range from 6 months to over a year.
