Chucks & Tux, Growing Kings’ inaugural fundraising gala, will be held on Friday, April 8, 2016 at one of the city’s world class music venues – WorkPlay. 

Birmingham residents are excited about the new energy being felt throughout the city, and are eagerly awaiting the next big event to enjoy during the spring months. Chucks & Tux is slated to become one of Birmingham’s most highly anticipated social affairs designed to attract a diverse mix of party goers that include members of the philanthropic community, civic leaders, and both young and seasoned professionals. 

The most unique feature of Chucks & Tux is the display and auction of custom designed Chuck Taylor sneakers created by selected Birmingham City high school students as part of Growing Kings’ Student Shoe Design Competition. Attendees are encouraged to wear Chuck Taylor Converse sneakers along with their formal attire to match the distinct flare of the event’s overall theme. This event will provide a high-class experience while creating an environment conducive to an evening full of dancing, laughter, and memories.
