7th Annual Flip Flop Festivus

A repeatedly sold out event with over 300 guests, Flip Flop Festivus offers an elegant night on the town in a resort casual atmosphere.  Invited guests – and past attendees – include Matt Stover, Qadry Ismail, Brad Jackson, Gheorghe Muresan, Keith Booth, Jonathan Ogden, Walt Williams, Keith Mills, Mark Viviano, David Aldridge and Johnny Holliday.

The evening kicks off with an exclusive VIP reception that features former professional athletes, media personalities and community leaders. This intimate gathering presents a unique opportunity to mingle and pose for photos with these personalities, while enjoying cocktails and sumptuous cuisine from Bookmaker’s Cocktail Club and Jokers N Thieves Restaurant & Bar, featuring Top Chef contestant, Jesse Sandlin.

It continues with exquisite food, wine and cocktails from Four Seasons Executive Chef Oliver Beckert, as well as raffles and a live auction of highly sought-after sports and travel packages, including an ACC Tobacco Road Basketball Game package and Big Apple Broadway Excursion.

Guests also can “strut their stuff on the dance floor” to funk, rock, reggae, jazz, Motown and today’s top hits performed by Soul Expressions. Members of this high-energy 7-piece soul band from Richmond, Va. have played with such artists as Missy Elliot, American Hi-Fi, Patti LaBelle, Letters to Cleo, Destiny’s Child, P-Funk and other notable acts all over the world.

Event proceeds will help the Life and Breath Foundation to provide patients with the valuable resources they need to better manage and coordinate their healthcare and provide their caregivers the support and guidance they need when caring for those battling Sarcoidosis.
