Shortly after the club opened for business Charles brought a group of volunteers together that would stage the first Black &amp; White party in May of 2007. With the help of dozens of volunteers and club patrons, it was a success beyond all expectations and $12,500 was donated to Family First Health&#8217;s Caring Together Program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Since that first year Black &amp; White Party, Inc. has grown considerably.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>From its humble beginnings in a tent in the parking lot of a night club, the main fundraiser grew to feature food from local restaurants, silent and live auctions, local entertainment, dancing, and a featured headliner performer. With the support of the local theater community, the entertainment at The Black &amp; White Party was a hallmark of the event.
