Every year, this is one of our favorite nights on the calendar. 💗 Our 5th Annual Connect to a Cause is coming up, and we’d love for you to join us!

📍 SideTrack Bar + Grill, Pleasanton
🗓 Wednesday, October 28, 2026
🕕 6:00–9:00 PM (Singo runs 6:30–8:30)

We're playing SINGO, which is bingo, but with music. We play 30-second song clips, you mark them off your card, and there are prizes every round. It's free to play, and no singing required (unless you can't help yourself).

Here's where the night gives back:

15% of SideTrack's profits will go to Culinary Angels, a local nonprofit that provides nutritious meals to people facing cancer and their families. Every raffle ticket purchase is donated too.

With your support, we've raised over $4,000 for local organizations since we started, including HERS Breast Cancer Foundation and Culinary Angels. Let's add to that number together.

Come for the drinks, food, and music, and wear pink to show your support. Please RSVP through the link below!
