Event Details

What to Expect

The 2020 Awareness Through Aesthetics event will take place on Thursday, March 12, 2020, beginning at 6:30 p.m. at Raleigh’s Union Station. Come prepared to mix, mingle, and dance if you’re so moved – DJ Supr will be providing upbeat tunes all evening long! With the purchase of each guest ticket, two drink tickets are included for beer or wine of your choice. Additional beer and wine tickets will be available for purchase at $7 each. You will have a chance to win the 50/50, bid on silent auction items and win one (or more) of the multiple medical grade skin care gift baskets. The event concludes at 9:30 p.m. when each guest will depart with a great swag bag! An after hours party for all guests will be held at Dram and Draught in Raleigh. A percentage of sales from the after party will be given to our two non-profits, Designed For Joy and Shield NC.

What to Wear

Guys, nice jacket is great, no black tie required, unless that’s what you want to wear! Ladies, Festive cocktail party attire or gown is encouraged but please come however you are comfortable and of course, we’ll have complimentary coat check available. Don’t forget your dancing shoes!

Arrivals & Departures

Raleigh Union Station is located at 510 W. Martin Street in Downtown Raleigh. Nearby paid hourly parking is available in The Dillon (just a short walk across the street), but if you’re going to enjoy a few libations, we highly encourage you to select a ride-sharing service such as Lyft or Uber and set “Raleigh Union Station” as your destination so you can get dropped off and picked up right at the door! You can also take advantage of the whole train experience and hop on the Amtrak train from Cary, NC at 6:08 PM to Raleigh Union Station and arrive in style at 6:26 PM. It will only cost you $7 to get there and your Uber/Taxi back to Cary or home.
