We traveled back in time to celebrate Austin Habitat for Humanity’s 40 years of building homes, communities, and hope. Guests stepped through the balloon arch and landed in an ‘80s dream world. From rollerskaters grooving to all the ‘80s hits to the mini arcade and even the “tato skins,” we made sure every detail was totally tubular and totally ‘80s. We reimagined old paint cans into eye-catching arrangements with a paintbrush, vibrant florals, and a custom label. Guests ended the night by raiding the candy cart full of all the throwback treats (Can someone say Smarties?) and dancing the night away to the incredible live performance by “SKYROCKET!” This event was a ‘like, totally cool’ way to celebrate 40 years of Austin Habitat for Humanity– and kick off the next 40.

Amount raised: over $766,000
