Dust off your detective hat, slip into your finest flapper or gangster attire, and get ready for a night you won't forget. The Grand Gatsby awaits — but who dunnit?

1920s attire is encouraged but not required!

Ticket Add-On Options

Besides your Sleuthing Ticket, which will get you through the door and cover your Clue Packets, Dinner, and Dessert, here are some other ways to dive into the fun of the evening!

Bootleg Bucks - $11 for 1 or $45 for 5

Help us reach our evening fundraising goal by selecting a special cocktail (or mocktail!) to sip! Each drink will raise additional funds towards our evening goal. Bootleg Bucks are available at the Welcome Table the night of the event, but why not purchase them now and have them waiting for you? Get inspired by peeking at our Contraband Drinks Menu. One Bootleg Buck will allow you to choose any of those speciality drinks!

The Insider - $8
You know the password. They don't.

Before the event, we mail you a sealed envelope containing the evening's secret speakeasy passcode — the only way into The Grand Gatsby. Those who DON'T know the password will have to decipher a clue...or complete an entertaining task assigned by the Bouncer. Available to all guests — no limit.

The Frame Job - $25
Get away with it — and get the photo to prove it.

After the culprit has been caught, your group gets an exclusive cast photo with all eight performers — in full 1920s costume, in character, at the scene of the crime, emailed after the event is over. It's the perfect souvenir from the most dramatic night in Racine. An option for all our guests!

The Patsy - $40 (3 available)
Someone at your table is about to take the fall.

Before the night begins, you slip us a name. We do the rest. Our cast will quietly weave your unsuspecting guest into the storyline as a red herring — dropping hints, casting suspicious glances, and making them look very, very guilty. They won't see it coming. Neither will anyone else. Limited to 3.

The Deputy - $40 (3 available)
Every great detective needs a right-hand sleuth.

We are looking for a few special guests to be our newest recruits. (No need to tell them beforehand!) These individuals will be sworn-in during the show and be given a badge, assisting the detectives throughout the night to uncover clues and get to the bottom of this mystery. It's the most immersive way to experience the evening — short of being the killer. Limited to 3

Saving Racine & Kenosha Taxpayers Nearly $5.4 Million in 2025

In 2025, Safe Families Racine/Kenosha kept 154 children safely at home by surrounding their parents with volunteer support — emotional encouragement, parenting guidance, and tangible help — preventing the need for child welfare intervention. With foster care averaging $35,000 per child in Wisconsin, Safe Families saved Racine and Kenosha counties nearly $5.4 million last year. For every $1.00 donated, taxpayers save $23.48. That's not just compassion — that's a smart community investment.

Your attendance to the 2nd Annual Who Dunnit Fundraiser benefits all the work we are doing -- let's double our numbers in 2026!

Our Mission in Racine & Kenosha

Safe Families for Children Racine/Kenosha is dedicated to keeping kids out of the foster care system by surrounding at-risk parents with a network of volunteers for support before a crisis escalates. A recently finished 10-year study has proven that our unique model of support keeps kids out of the child welfare system while strengthening their parents for positive long-term societal effects. We are a movement of community, fueled by radical hospitality, intentional compassion, and disruptive generosity—because we believe that no child should face the trauma of separation simply because their parent lacked a support system.
