2nd Annual Hollywood Cantina: Pin-Ups for Vets
WWII Style Fundraiser where 100% of ticket sales and Donations go to support Hospitalized Veterans and Deployed Troops.
Pin-Ups for Vets & The Dollface Dames are teaming up once again for The Hollywood Cantina: Salute & Shimmy to raise funds to support hospitalized Veterans and Deployed Troops! Don your spiffiest outfits and join us for a WWII-Style party, open to the public and FREE for Veterans & Active Duty Service Members to attend at the Historic American Legion Post 43 in Hollywood on January 17th.
From the moment guests enter the event, they will be treated to an event that would make Bob Hope proud. Our goal is to recreate the grandstand magic of the Hollywood Canteen that operated during the 1940’s as a club offering food, dancing and entertainment for servicemen, usually on their way overseas.
The evening will feature dressed up 1940’s Pin-Ups, Burlesque Dancers, Vaudeville style Comedy, Variety Acts, Soulful Lounge singer, raffle-ticket selling Baby Doll Beauties and more than a few surprises! With entertainment & atmosphere around every turn, guests will feel like they stepped into America’s most glamorous decade.
