Thankful Thursday Schedule For The Fall 2022 Season

It's time (at last) for a new season of Casper’s original Thursday night Party With A Purpose – Thankful Thursday at the smoke-free Beacon Club!

We’re back Thursday nights for the Fall 2022 season with our friends at Tito’s Vodka as we add to over $2 million you’ve helped raise for local charities – and as always, Thankful is the only event of its kind that gives 100% of the proceeds to local organizations doing local good.

Join us on Thursday nights starting September 15th – there will be multiple chances to win $500 in the bottle draw just for being in the room, and Tito’s will generously give the same amount to EACH of our charities to start them off, and there is a FREE Tito’s cocktail for everyone 21+.

The Beacon is smoke-free, and this event is family-friendly, so gather up your entire crew and show up for live auctions, the infamous Lucky Duck game, the bottle draw, 50/50 raffles, and lots of fun and surprises along the way.

The party starts at 5 each night, and the live auction gets underway around 6:30.

Here’s who you’ll be helping out this Fall at Thankful Thursday:

September 15th Jason's Friends: Created in 1996, the formation and philosophy of Jason’s Friends Foundation was inspired by the life of Rocky and Lisa Eades’ son Jason William Eades (April 7, 1986 – November 11, 1995). Jason’s Friends Foundation assists families across the state of Wyoming with children from birth through the age of 20 who have been diagnosed with cancer, brain tumors, or spinal cord tumors. They are here to spare the family the threat of a financial crisis arising during their medical emergency. They provide financial support where possible and focus on each family’s individual situation.

September 22nd Casper Mural Project: The Casper Mural Project's purpose and mission are to foster and encourage community expression through the creation of public art in the form of murals. In particular, to commission, orchestrate, and maintain community-related murals in the downtown Casper area for the benefit of the general public.
