A 12-time world champion, Terry Bollea a.k.a. Hulk Hogan, is considered by many to be the greatest professional wrestler of all time. What most people don’t know is that before the Hulkster became the face of the WWF, now the WWE, he spent his formative years at the Interbay Club of the Boys & Girls Clubs of Tampa Bay and was inducted into the Boys & Girls Clubs of America Alumni Hall of Fame on May 3, 2018.

“If it wasn’t for the Boys & Girls Club, I would have never seen the amazing life that I so have enjoyed. I owe much of my success to my time at the Club,” said Hogan.

General admission tickets are $125 and include admission to this retro-themed event, your meal and a drink ticket. For $175, you can purchase VIP tickets, which include admission to the VIP Reception, food service to your table, champagne for the table and priority seating during the program in addition to what general admission tickets receive.

VIP ticket holders will also have a chance to mingle with the Hulkster during the VIP reception, which is set for 5 p.m. the same evening.

All proceeds from this event will go to the Boys & Girls Clubs of the Emerald Coast, which works in our community to promote and enhance the development of boys and girls by instilling a sense of competence, usefulness, belonging and influence through its programs focused on academic success, healthy lifestyles, good character and citizenship.

“I am proud that we are able to utilize Alumni like Hulk Hogan to help us deepen the impact we will have on the children we serve along the Emerald Coast,” said Rassa. “All funds raised through this event will go back into enhancing the programing we provide the children we serve each week.”
