Present the 55th Annual Tiara Gala

Get ready for a night of unforgettable ’80s Rock Glamour at our exclusive gala, featuring none other than American Idol finalist, the star of Broadway’s Rock of Ages, and Tony-nominated Constantine Maroulis! This electrifying evening will transport you to the golden age of big hair, leather jackets, and power ballads. Constantine will take the stage for an unforgettable performance, belting out classic ’80s rock hits that made Rock of Ages a smash Broadway Hit! Dance, sing, and party to the anthems of Journey, Bon Jovi, Def Leppard, and more, while enjoying decadent food and cocktails with a Rock-inspired theme. With neon lights and a high-energy vibe, this gala promises to be an epic celebration of music, nostalgia, and pure rockstar magic. Come dressed in your best rock star glam and get ready to rock the night away with Constantine Maroulis in the spotlight, all while raising money for cancer research so we can all do our part in working toward a cure.
