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.
