Flash Back for the LOU Community’s Future on Saturday

The United Way of Oxford-Lafayette County will once again flashback for the Lafayette-
Oxford-University community’s future at the 2023 United Way Flashback Bash, presented by
CoreLogic.

The event will be held at the Oxford Conference Center from 7 to 11:00 p.m. on Saturday.

“The Flashback Bash provides a perfect opportunity for our community to come together for a
great night out that will also make a significant impact,” UWOLC Executive Director Kurt
Brummett said. “You can dress up or simply comes as you are as all we ask is that everyone
arrive ready to let loose as they enjoy an evening full of incredible music, food and fun with
Almost Famous, Taylor Grocery Special Events Catering, Oxford PhotoBomb and the LOU
community.”

Tickets can be purchased for $30 per person and sponsorship opportunities start at $100. Drink
tickets will be available for purchase upon arrival and attendees will also be able to bid on silent
auction items and packages that have been donated by several local businesses and organizations.
