A Note from the Founder

The Why

After losing someone you love, you learn you are not the only one navigating grief. This night is for the people we can’t forget, the songs that got us through, and the stories we don’t tell enough.

Why Reel Brothers Foundation exists

In January I lost my father, Michael A. Cummings II. It was my third profound loss in five years. In the midst of my own grief, I began to see how many others were quietly carrying theirs.

Reel Brothers was his idea before it was mine. It came to him after we lost our cousin, who was also his fishing partner, and he never got to build it. I wrote it down in March and built it, to walk alongside people through loss and remind them they don’t have to face it alone. Grief does not end when the funeral does. The foundation exists for the months after, when everyone else has gone back to normal and you are learning a new one.

The What

A night created for it

A Night 2 Remember was created to help build that work. It is meant to feel like a celebration, because that is what the people we lost would have wanted.

The How

Two Parts, One Room

It all happens in one room at The Club Lagos. Come for one part, or stay for both.

8:00 to 9:30 · Connect

Cocktail Hour + Guided Networking

A welcome drink comes with every ticket and music while the room fills. At 8:30 a host takes the room through a guided hour. Not mingling: real conversation about where people are going next and what they need to get there. You leave knowing someone’s story, and with one thing you can actually do for them.

DJ + Karaoke Competition

The story, then the champagne toast, then the mic opens. DJ Lefty runs the night and the karaoke competition runs in rounds between his sets, with the crowd voting. Sing one for someone.
