Alzheimer’s work to benefit from Stan’s party

By Avri Boswell

Dallas’ oldest, continuously operated bar and official BvB after-practice-bar — Stan’s Blue Note on Lower Greenville — is celebrating its 70th anniversary with an exclusive VIP event on July 29, complete with complimentary buffet, open bar, live music and the chance to fight back against Alzheimer’s!

Attendees will include longtime Stan’s fans and regulars, influencers and members of the media, owners (past and present), local college alumni — perhaps even a celebrity or two!

Guests will be welcomed with champagne service and passed hors d’oeuvres accompanied by the acoustic sounds of Ukranian-born, Texas blues rocker Griffin Holtby — whom many may remember from his “American Idol” journey. Headlining the nostalgic evening will be Dallas-based 90s cover band, Booty and the Hoefish.

Partygoers will be treated to free-flowing cocktails and kegs of beer, carving stations, a gourmet mac and cheese bar with crab, bacon and other specialty toppings, an anniversary cake, door prizes, swag bags, commemorative mason jars and anniversary T-shirts — all to guarantee a legendary experience that stands the test of time — just as Stan’s has. 

Stan’s is and always will be the dive bar people know and love, so come as you are; there’s no dress code here!

Proceeds of ticket sales will help will fund research projects and care programs by the following: Alzheimer’s Association, Center for BrainHealth, Center for Vital Longevity at UT Dallas, Juliette Fowler Communities, The Senior Source, and UT Southwestern Medical Center. By teaming up with Stan’s for the anniversary party and facilitating the event’s silent auction – which includes two autographed NFL footballs and a spectacular lineup of sports and music memorabilia – our impact on Alzheimer’s will be even more significant.

Tickets are $70 per person and include admission to the much-anticipated, 15th Annual Game Day on Saturday, August 13 at the Historic Cotton Bowl at Fair Park. The event is on July 29 from 6:30-10 p.m. at Stan’s Blue Note, located at 2908 Greenville Ave. in Dallas.
