PARTY FOR A PURPOSE

Join us for a star-spangled night of music, dancing, and high-energy performances—all in support of the ASCRS Foundation. Let’s light up the evening and toast to America’s 250th birthday!


Celebrate America’s 250th Birthday with a Party in the USA!

Get ready to light up the night as we kick off a star-spangled celebration honoring the USA’s 250th birthday! Join fellow ASCRS and ASOA attendees for an unforgettable evening filled with high-energy performances, iconic Americana moments, and plenty of red, white, and blue spirit—all while raising funds to support sight-restoring care through the ASCRS Foundation.

Come as you are or show off your patriotic flair—think bold stripes, sparkly stars, vintage Americana, or your best modern-day USA-themed party look.
