Hosted by the beautiful Nooney B, the December 28th event, Apollo Night at the Mendelssohn Performing Arts Center, in Rockford, Illinois is just around the corner. Fundraiser proceeds will benefit the 30th Anniversary Celebration of Rockford Juneteenth in 2020.

Apollo Night includes cash prizes, music by DJ Rated AG, a special guest appearance by Author Omar Muhammad (The Kids Who Cried Wolf: Roscetti Case), and the infamous money dance.

The event will be held from 7 pm – 12 am and will offer a cash bar and hors d'oeuvres. Join us for a night of show-stopping performances, followed by music and dancing — as we end the year on a high note.
