Leadership Burbank is marking its 30th anniversary with “Sneakin’ & Sippin’ at the Speakeasy” — a glamorous, prohibition-inspired fundraiser set for Saturday, November 15 at 6:00 PM at Romancing The Bean in Burbank’s Magnolia Park neighborhood. The evening will include dinner bites and desserts, hosted beverages, prohibition-era cocktails, live entertainment, and a silent auction featuring standout items like a fully stocked vintage bar cart.
“After three decades of shaping local leaders and empowering community projects, we’re excited to celebrate in true Leadership Burbank fashion — with connection, creativity, and a whole lot of fun,” said Trena Pitchford, Leadership Burbank Board Chair. “This event is more than a party. It’s a chance to honor our past, toast to the future, and support the next generation of changemakers who will continue to make Burbank thrive.”
Guests will enjoy an immersive speakeasy experience at The New Deal, complete with thematic décor and a few clandestine surprises — including a secret, walkable second stop for those “in the know.” A period-style password will be shared with confirmed guests ahead of the event.
