Now in its fifth year, this signature men’s cocktail fundraiser offers an unforgettable night out. Last year, more than 200 guests enjoyed hearty chef‑crafted hors d’oeuvres, a premium open bar, cigars, billiards, and plenty of laid‑back camaraderie. It’s an evening designed for good conversation, great food, and supporting a meaningful cause — all in one exceptional event.
Join us at the Watson-Curtze Mansion at 356 West 6th Street in Erie, from 5 to 8 p.m. for an outside cocktail party for men only. Enjoy heavy hors d’oeuvres from Sabellas, favorite bar selections, music, and cigars. Our committee members Matt Clark, Ben Davis, Joe Hilbert, Ben Jefferys, Matt Lasher, Mark Murphy, John Zack, and Alec Zaphiris look forward to welcoming you.
This unique event has raised funds for construction projects and maintenance needs on the campus.
Tickets are $100 per person. Men 40 years and younger pay their age.
Invitations will be sent out in May, 2026. If you did not receive an invitation last year and would like an invitation this year, please email gcicchetti@eriehistory.org.
