Leadership Burbank’s Halloween party returns October 24 to the rooftop at INTRO Burbank, with proceeds supporting the organization’s work developing civic leaders. The adults-only LB Scary party is scheduled from 6 to 10 p.m. and will combine costumes, music, food and fundraising. Its return marks another opportunity for local residents and businesses to support the group’s community programs.
The event will feature dancing with DJ Wickety Wilke, hosted drinks and signature cocktails, tarot card readings, a costume contest and a silent auction. BB Café is providing hors d’oeuvres, and organizers plan a Halloween candy bar. Costumes are highly encouraged, according to the event announcement, which says guests should expect an elaborate costume contest atmosphere.
Party Returns October 24 With Rooftop Program
INTRO Burbank’s rooftop at 800 N. Front Street will host the party, with a view overlooking the city. The event page lists tickets at $150 per person and describes the gathering as a 21-and-over event. The schedule, venue and activities are outlined in the event announcement.
The fundraiser’s proceeds support Leadership Burbank’s work to educate and motivate emerging leaders to take an active role in the city’s civic, cultural and economic life. The organization says its programs bring people together to build relationships, develop ideas and contribute to the community. Its announcement describes the program as having operated for more than 30 years and says its alumni network includes more than 600 people.
That focus on leadership development also connects with Grit Daily’s coverage of a board leadership change. The separate article concerns the Association of Event Venues and its election of Jeremy Rees as chair. The stories involve different organizations and events, but both address leadership roles.
Businesses Join as Event Sponsors
Local businesses and community partners can sponsor LB Scary, with recognition before and during the event and tickets included in sponsorship opportunities. Leadership Burbank says there is still time for additional sponsors to participate. The announcement thanks donors and lists sponsors across four named levels.
Grand Goblin Sponsors include the City of Burbank, The Walt Disney Company and Warner Bros. Entertainment. Cusumano Real Estate Group, Schafer Electric Inc. and Worthe Real Estate Group are Hocus Pocus Patron Sponsors. Gain Federal Credit Union, Maintico Corp, UMe Credit Union, UMe Credit Union Wealth Management Group and Volpei-Gussow Butler Real Estate Group are listed as Spellbound Specter Sponsors.
The Boo Benefactor Sponsors include the Leadership Burbank Class of 2005 and Class of 2025, the Akuin Family, Jessa Freemyer and Jared Markham, Albert Hernandez, Anita and Mark Hutchinson, Joan McCarthy, and Leslie and Ken Smith. The source lists the Akuin Family twice in that tier. The names reflect support from alumni, board members, families and local organizations, according to the announcement.
Community events and business programs are also covered in Grit Daily’s report on an entrepreneur summit returning and its coverage of a new business and entrepreneurship center. Those stories describe separate programs, while LB Scary directs its proceeds to Leadership Burbank’s local civic mission.
Tickets and Sponsorships Are Available
Leadership Burbank says tickets and sponsorship opportunities are available through its LB Scary event page. The organization describes itself as a nonprofit charity founded in 1995. It says its initiatives give alumni, class members and the wider Burbank community opportunities to develop ideas and solutions for a strong, sustainable and vibrant city.
The announcement also reports that the organization’s investments throughout Burbank total more than a million dollars. It does not detail individual projects or allocations. For October 24, the stated next step is to purchase a ticket or inquire about sponsorship through the organization’s event page.
