Giving

Welcome

CLASS OF 86: Join us Saturday, November 7, as we celebrate our 40th Reunion in the exclusive Foundation Room at House of Blues Anaheim, a private members-only venue that’s the perfect setting for another great night together.

We’re keeping this one easy: no tickets, everyone pays their own tab. A $20 commitment payment via Venmo to Jeff Gibson reserves your spot, and goes right back into the reunion to enhance the evening for everyone. Space is limited, so grab your spot early!

SPREAD THE WORD!
