Sorry kiddies, the Rusty Ball is a 21 and over event.

There will be an open bar from 8 p.m. – 10 p.m. with cash concessions, so show up on time!

Well, that’s a really good question…

Since 1999, The Rusty Griswolds have been performing; bringing energy as only they can to the best music of the ’80s. Whether you’re willing to admit it or not, you’re totally familiar with their music.

Hold On Loosely by 38 Special
Let’s Dance by David Bowie
Video Killed The Radio Star by The Buggles
I Want You To Want Me by Cheap Trick
Friday I’m In Love by The Cure
Pour Some Sugar On Me by Def Leppard
Come on, Eileen by Dexy’s Midnight Runners
Hungry Like The Wolf by Duran Duran
Centerfold by J. Geils Band

Now that you’ve got classic ’80s music running through your head you’ll understand why The Rusty Griswolds are a local favorite.¬† They were even voted Best Party / Cover Band in 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007 by the readers of Cincinnati’s City Beat Magazine.

One Thing Leads to Another.
Time after time The Rusty Griswolds have been asked to perform benefit concerts for well deserving benefit and charity events. Due to advance bookings of up to 9-12 months and cost prohibitive issues, they too often had to decline. So they had an idea: what if they invited local charities to become part of an annual event where they could showcase their causes and raise money through ticket sales?

And that’s how The Rusty Ball started rolling.

Did you know that October is Domestic Violence Awareness Month?

Did you know that in the world today, 1 in every 3 women is
beaten, coerced into sex, or otherwise abused in her lifetime?

Did you know that violence against women
is predominantly intimate partner violence
(current or former husband, cohabiting partner, date, or boyfriend)?

These statistics transcend socioeconomic, racial, and ethnic backgrounds.  Which is why Beaded Hope and Women Helping Women have partnered to create a purple beaded ribbon in honor of victims of domestic violence, both here in the US and in South Africa.  Regardless of where you live, domestic violence is a reality.
