TIRR's young professionals turn into party animals in the urban jungle of the House of Blues
The jungle cats prowled while big game hunters postured and scores engaged in monkey business at the House of Blues Saturday night when the Junior VolunTIRRS took over for the "Welcome TIRR the Jungle" bash.
Leaders of the pack Brooke Bagby, Sydney Ealand and Mollie Schall stirred up the enthusiastic throng that spent much of the night admiring one another's take on the requested "safari, jungle or hunting" attire. Think zebra, leopard and python plus enough khaki to outfit a Hemingway adventure.

The rocking Bag of Donuts band from New Orleans kept the party crowd pumped. A light-hearted frenzy broke out when VolunTIRR Becky Helms sang the lead on one number and Bryant Patrick sang another. And then there was Stacy Freeman, dressed as a gorilla, playing the cowbell on stage.
Loved the wicked party favors — animal print balloons, blow-up animals, animal print leis, sexy shades and safari hats!
Applauding all aspects of the fundraiser were Lindsay and Dan Pearce, Amy Thorpe, Scott Mendenhall, Katherine Davis, Ted Bowen, Gray Thornton, Krystal and Garrett Thompson, Kara and Chad Mihalick, Madelyn Thornton, Ross Wycoff, Anna Domning and Max Barrett.
