The WYO Performing Arts & Education Center invites the community to step back in time for an unforgettable evening of music, dancing and philanthropy at the 2026 WYO Benefit Ball, set for Saturday, March 21, at the Kalif Shrine Center.
This year’s event, “Big Band, Big Moves, Big Night: A Rockin’ Benefit for the WYO,” will feature live music by Jukebox Saturday Night, a high-energy tribute to the golden era of American music. Guests can expect a night filled with the timeless sounds of Glenn Miller, Benny Goodman, Tommy Dorsey and other legendary musicians whose music defined the dance halls of the 1930s through 1960s.
Attendees are encouraged to lean into the sock-hop theme and arrive in their favorite classic or vintage attire for an evening that celebrates both nostalgia and community spirit.
The Benefit Ball will include live music and dancing, food and cocktails, and both silent and live auctions, all supporting the programs and mission of the WYO Performing Arts & Education Center.
The auctions will feature a variety of unique experiences and locally crafted items, including highlights such as:
· A private evening experience at The Brinton Museum featuring a customized tour with cocktails and appetizers
· A hand-carved leather notepad by renowned Western artist Jim Jackson
· 4 tickets to a regular season Denver Broncos game
· A weekend staycation package featuring lodging and dining
· Experiences such as a catered dinner for six, massage packages and more.
Those who are unable to attend the Benefit Ball — or who simply want more of the music — will have another opportunity to experience the band. Jukebox Saturday Night will perform a concert at the WYO the following day, bringing the same joyful vintage sound to the theater stage.
All proceeds from the Benefit Ball support the WYO’s mission to bring performing arts, cultural programming and educational opportunities to the Sheridan community.
The 2026 Benefit Ball is generously sponsored by Georgia & Frank Boley, the William Emery Foundation, First Federal Bank & Trust, the Bernard Family Foundation, and the Limestone Family Foundation in honor of Georgia Boley.
