If the winter blues have you feeling low, head out for a fun night guaranteed to raise your spirits. Iron-Leg Corp. will host a Back to the '70s and '80s Dance Party on Saturday, March 11. The event will be held at Club Twenty3, 1703 New Holland Pike, Lancaster, from 7 p.m. to midnight.

"Come out, dust off your platform shoes and help support a great cause," said Sean Laukhuff, vice president of Iron-Leg. "Come enjoy the night with friends and dancing and just let loose."

The festivities will feature '70s and '80s music from a DJ, a photo booth, a signature Iron-Leg drink and a silent auction. "We'll have lots of sports memorabilia, memorabilia from the '70s and '80s and really something for everyone at the auction," Laukhuff commented.

People are encouraged to come in their best '70s and '80s costumes, and a costume contest will be held. "We'll award prizes for the best male, best female and best couple," Laukhuff noted.

Proceeds from the party will benefit Iron-Leg Corp., a Lancaster-based nonprofit organization that raises funds for children in need of prosthetics. The organization was started by Matt Millhouse and Laukhuff, who were looking for a way to give back to the community when they realized they could raise funds for a cause close to home. Millhouse's son, Parker, was born without a right leg, so Millhouse and Laukhuff created Iron-Leg in 2020, named in Parker's honor. The organization has a mission of not only paying for high-end prosthetics for children and youths age 18 and younger, but also making sure recipients receive therapy to learn how to use them. Iron-Leg has helped children in Lancaster and York counties, raising thousands of dollars. Each prosthetic can cost between $5,000 and $50,000.

Last year's dance party, held at The Village Nightclub, raised close to $10,000, a goal Laukhuff hopes to meet again this year. Additional fundraisers for the organization include a golf tournament and a car show.

Laukhuff noted that Iron-Leg is looking for board members who have a passion for making a difference in a child's life. "If you have a heart for community and a desire to give back, we'd love to talk to you," he said.

In the meantime, he hopes to draw a good crowd to the dance party, adding, "It's winter, and we've all been cooped up inside. Get out of the house and come to a party."
