Progress360
Event Information
About this event
Announcing the maiden voyage of the Progress360 event series, where people from around the world come together virtually to have fun and funds are raised to support global forest restoration projects (see below). The evening starts as a happy hour and networking vibe, with background music and videos starting with the 1920s and progressing through the decades.
The event then switches to a dance party, starting with 1970s funk/disco music and then progressing to retro1dance tunes and videos from the '80s, '90s, and '00s.
We'll be using the free Twitch network and while there is no charge to participate donations are gratefully accepted.
