Celebrate Michele- A Cancer Fundraiser

Join us for a Night of Celebratory Mayhem as Night Club Forbidden is transformed to become Studio 54 for a night of dancers, music, Sisters, Michele's Birthday Party/Cancer Fund Raiser, Pudding Shots, Raffle, Auction and MORE!

Celebrate Michele is a fundraiser for Michele deLaFreniere, a well-known activist and leader in the lgbt community and former member of the Scottsdale Human Relations Commission. Michele was diagnosed with liver and bone cancer this spring. It has now spread to her brain and lungs. Representatives from every segment of the community have come together to organize this fundraiser which is sponsored by Tom and Roberta Anderson of Forbidden. This is an event not to be missed!

The party kicks off Saturday, July 18th at 7:00PM with a $5 suggested donation at the door at Night Club Forbidden located at 6820 E. 5th Ave in Scottsdale and is going all night long.
