jn
his time last year, the GenX
crowd of Jewish Detroit was
digging through their clos-
ets in search of retired legwarmers,
neon jogging suits and anything with
shoulder pads — all in preparation
for Federation’s Ultimate ’80s Bash.
The party, the first of its kind put on
by Federation’s Affinities Department,
brought in a sold-out crowd of
more than 550 and welcomed 118
new donors to Federation’s Annual
Campaign.
“We were thrilled at the response
from last year’s Ultimate ’80s Bash. The
crowd reaffirmed the need in our com-
munity to engage the late-30s to 50s
demographic,” said Geoff Kretchmer,
event chair.
The Ultimate ’80s Bash was the talk
of the town for weeks, and it became
clear that Federation was on to some-
thing. The task of topping last year’s
event was a challenge both the staff
and leadership were eager to take on.
“One thing we learned from last
year’s event is that this crowd likes to
go all out for a theme, and we want-
ed to pick a decade that everyone
would love dressing up for, hearing
music from and would lend itself to
one great party. So, this year we are
going all out ’70s — disco queens, hip-
pies, The Brady Bunch, KISS,” said Neil
Sherman, event chair.
“Last year, Detroit’s Mega ’80s band
was a huge draw, and we’re so excited
for our Far Out ’70s Party guests to
experience this year’s band, The Boogie
Knights, all the way from Los Angeles,
who are going to help make this anoth-
er unforgettable night.”
Federation’s Far Out ’70s Party is
set for Dec. 8 beginning at 8 p.m. In
addition to live music, guests will enjoy
an open bar, classic late-night fare, fun
photo ops, giveaways and lots of other
funky and far-out surprises scattered
throughout Saint Andrew’s Hall, 431 E.
Congress St., Detroit. Tickets are $80.
“We are all about throwing an
incredible party, but our long-term
hope is that this one night serves as
a welcoming and fun entry point for
people in this demographic to become
more engaged with our Jewish com-
munity,” said Sherri Ketai, event chair.
Keith “We want people to walk away
not only with great memories from
the night, but also with a better under-
standing of the work of the Jewish
Federation and a little inspiration to
become involved, or more involved,
in this incredible community we have
here in Metro Detroit.”
Despite being only a few years old,
Federation’s Affinities department has
had great success in engaging the local
Jewish GenX population. In addition
to these annual parties, Affinities is
the force behind an array of niche
programs and events coming out of
Federation, including the Maimonides
Society for medical professionals,
the Real Estate Group, Pound for
Pound Men’s Group, Taste of Women’s
Philanthropy and an emerging
Interfaith group, to name a few. ■
