Join us for a night at
The Lowdown
Dust off your tuxedos and find your finest pearls—we’re transporting you back to the age of jazz, glamour, and high stakes. Join us for an evening of fine dining and "illegal" thrills at the gaming tables as we raise funds for a noble cause.
The Attire: Flapper & Dapper (Black Tie Encouraged)
The Vibe: All the glitz of a Gatsby gala, none of the Prohibition.
COUNTDOWN TO COCKTAIL HOUR
About Us
Our Vision for The Lowdown
Each year, we peel back the curtain on a bygone era, inviting you to step into a world of clandestine glamour. Imagine the clink of crystal, the soulful pull of a live jazz band, and a room filled with the sharpest dapper suits and finest flapper fringe. As our venue transforms into a golden-age speakeasy, the stakes rise at the gaming tables. We invite you to lose yourself in the rhythm of the Roaring 20s—and play your hand to become the evening’s ultimate high roller.
Our Mission: Lighting the Way for the Next Generation
While we celebrate the spirit of the past, our hearts are firmly on the future. The proceeds from tonight’s gala ensure that the youth in our community always have a door that is open to them. We are dedicated to providing more than just programs; we are providing a sanctuary of resources and a foundation of support where every teen can find their footing and flourish.
This Year's Event
Experience our 1st Annual Speakeasy & Casino Night in style at our beautifully restored building at 627 L Street, Rio Linda, CA, on March 28, 2026. Step into the transformed former Rio Linda Elementary auditorium and see how this historic space has been brought back to vibrant life—now ready to host the teens of our community.
For too long, our small community has gone without a free, welcoming space where kids who don’t quite fit the mold can truly feel they belong. Our mission is to reach every young person—including those who might otherwise be wandering around town and at risk of finding trouble—and offer them a safe, positive place to be. Every dollar raised tonight goes directly into this year’s programs and the essential resources our most vulnerable youth need.
The Fundraising Part
Each year, you’re invited to indulge—guilt‑free—in a night of fun, friendly competition, and one big question:
Who will be this evening’s High Roller?
Enjoy hours of your favorite table games, knowing every dollar you play goes right back to supporting our kids. The more you win, the more tickets you rack up for our exciting raffle prizes.
