Shake Your Booties, Back to the 80s Gala to Help Raise Critical Funds That Support Children and Families

Attention all you dudes and dudettes! The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh & Lemieux Family Center is revving up for another exciting Shake Your Booties Gala this spring. We are heading ‘Back to The 80s’ at The Rivers Casino on Saturday April 20, 2024 and you can go with them! This epic event will feature entertainment by the Pittsburgh band ‘Totally 80s’ and be emceed by CBS Sports reporter, Aditi Kinkhabwala.

Are you a ‘bodacious’ dancer or a ‘maverick’ with moves? Either way, Totally 80s, the Pittsburgh 80s tribute band will take you on a musical journey back to the heyday of MTV, Miami Vice, John Hughes movies, big hair, legwarmers, and the diverse music that defined a generation and lives on today! At Shake Your Booties, dance the night away with all your favorite pop/rock hits from artists such as Prince, Madonna, Journey, Duran Duran, Cory Hart, and Cyndi Lauper.

Event Emcee, Aditi Kinkhabwala, who some may know as a CBS sports reporter and frequent guest on The Fan podcast, instantly felt a connection to the mission of The Children’s Home of Pittsburgh when connecting to the organization last year. The Children’s Home is honored to have Aditi back to emcee the event for the second year in a row. She is a resident of the Pittsburgh area and a mother of two. Her genuine care and concern for the children and families served at The Children’s Home is extremely apparent. Aditi’s support in organizing this year’s gala has been instrumental to the event’s promised success.

Shake Your Booties will feature a night filled with live and silent auctions, mystery bags, wine toss, dancing, and an opportunity to help The Children’s Home “Fund the Mission.” Shake Your Booties is one of the biggest and best events of the year, with a goal to raise $250,000 to enrich and grow all The Children’s Home’s programs: Adoption, Child’s Way®, Pediatric VIEW, Family Centered Therapy Services, Counseling and Family Support Services, and the Pediatric Specialty Hospital, where no family leaves the hospital with a bill! The gala will be so good that all 80s babies will say “it’s bad!”
