This event was created in 2022 to raise money to help women in our area battling breast cancer. This year, we are making an exception and will donate a portion of the proceeds to one of our employees and previous VB performers. She is currently going through treatment for a different sarcoma after being 7 years cancer free.

Join us for the 5 year anniversary show for Better Anyway 's EP “Low, But Looking Up."
