Join us for an evening of intrigue, community, and celebration as we honor Bob Haas's legacy of building community through BBQ, music, and development without displacement.
Put on your detective hat for The Plot Thickensโa mystery-themed benefit featuring treasure hunts, house history detective work, delicious food, and the chance to connect with board members, alumni, residents, and supporters who share Bob's vision.
Want to start the night off in memory of Bob? Join some of us at 6:00 PM for a brief sing-along and time of reflection. Bob loved bringing people together through music, and we'd love to honor that tradition before the mystery begins.
