Every year, Harrisburg River Rescue volunteers rush down to the Susquehanna to help save endangered boaters and swimmers.
Now, you have a chance to return the favor, while having a good time, as a new fundraiser is being organized to benefit this worthy organization.
On Tuesday, Sara Bozich and Harristown Enterprises announced the inaugural Berry Bash, which will take place in Strawberry Square on Oct. 26.
“My vision is to create an event that people are genuinely excited to attend with the feel-good bonus of giving back,” said Bozich, the event organizer.
The Berry Bash was inspired by the Strawberry Ball, a popular event from a quarter-century ago, Bozich said.
The event’s theme will be “dress up or dress up,” encouraging guests to don either costumes, cocktail attire, or a mix of both, with “best dressed” contests as a highlight.
For the night, Strawberry Square will be decorated in a red and black color scheme, and the local party band, Funktion, will play on the new UPMC Clock Box Stage. The JDK Group Catering & Events will provide heavy hors d’oeuvres stations, passed desserts and two bars.
Tickets are priced at $85 per person or $150 per couple. Proceeds will directly support the volunteer-run, nonprofit Harrisburg River Rescue & Emergency Services.
Berry Bash takes place on Saturday, Oct. 26, from 7 to 10 p.m., in the atrium of Strawberry Square in downtown Harrisburg. For more information and to purchase tickets, visit the event website.
