Generation Charleston, the Charleston Area Alliance’s emerging leaders group, is hosting the homecoming-themed benefit, scheduled for 7 to 11 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 7 at the University of Charleston Ballroom.

Proceeds from the event support College Summit, which is Generation Charleston’s year-long cause, and will go toward a scholarship.

Guests are encouraged to wear their “most awesome” ’80s and ’90s fashions. The best-dressed male and female will be crowned Homecoming King & Queen. While costumes are encouraged, they are not required. 

Food and beverages, including beer and wine, are provided as guests dance the night away to favorite ’80s and ’90s music and videos. Generation Charleston membership is not required to attend, but guests must be at least 21.

College Summit began in 1993 in Washington, D.C. to provide writing skills and the “know-how” for urban youth to enroll in college. Since then, the program has expanded to 13 states and helped thousands of high school seniors pursue a college degree.

Tickets to the event are $30 per person in advance and $40 at the door.
