Project Safe holds a variety of fundraisers each year, keep checking back to see what’s next.

Groovy Nights is held annually in August at the Classic Center.  A tribute to the outrageousness of the 1970s, this event is not your typical fundraiser.  Enjoy our fabulous buffet including selections for vegetarians as well as meat lovers, separate 70s stations with favorites like fondue, and 70’s drink specials at the bar.  Boogie to the best sounds from the era, play giant Twister or take our trivia challenge.  Bid in our silent auction.  Tickets are $25 and are available on this website or at the Classic Center box office.  Click on the Groovy Nights button for more information or to buy tickets.

The Vagina Monologues by Eve Ensler is always a popular fundraiser.  Performances will be mid February at the UGA Chapel on North Campus.  Tickets are $15 and will go on sale early February at Frontier on Clayton St., Urban Sanctuary Day Spa in 5 Points and the Project Safe Thrift  Store in the Bell’s Shopping Center on Hawthorne.  Tickets will also be on sale at the door.  

The Fifth Annual Dancing with Athens Stars is taking shape!  Project Safe has lined up local dance instructors and matched them with "stars", notable Athenians who contribute to what makes our community great.  After taking lessons during the Fall and Winter, our couples will perform at the Classic Center in March 2013.  The People’s Choice contest is already underway to determine the last few participants in the "Dancing" line up.  See the Dancing with the Stars button on this website for a list of contestants.  Tickets to the show are $20 and are on sale at the Classic Center in the Spring.  Premium seats near the stage along with a VIP reception are available as part of sponsorship packages.   Audience and community members can vote for their favorite couple by donating a dollar per vote to Project Safe.  Trophies will be awarded based on performance and number of votes received.
