Our Mission
Where Nostalgia Meets Purpose
Throwback for Charity creates memorable nights where music, community, and purpose come together. From the timeless hits of the 70s, 80s, and 90s to the shared energy on the dance floor, these events are designed to bring people together in a way that feels both joyful and meaningful.
Proudly based in the Philadelphia metro area—including Philadelphia, the surrounding suburbs, Delaware, and South Jersey—we focus on building local connections and supporting causes that make a difference right here in our communities.
Every event is rooted in a simple idea:
great music brings people together—and together, we can do something good.
It's more than a night out.
It's a shared experience with purpose.
Meet Your Host
Throwback for Charity events are created and hosted by Joe Mancini—a lifelong music lover with deep roots in the energy and spirit of the 80s. As a former DJ and college radio station manager, Joe knows how to read a room, set a vibe, and bring people together in a way that feels natural, joyful, and memorable.
More than just playing great music, Joe has a genuine passion for creating spaces where people can relax, connect, and feel part of something special. With strong ties to local social and meetup communities, he brings together the right mix of music, nostalgia, and people to create nights that feel both uplifting and personal.
Throwback for Charity is an extension of that passion—blending great experiences with a simple, meaningful purpose: giving back.
It's a straightforward idea, rooted in goodwill:
bring people together, create a great night, and do something positive for a great cause along the way.

For Venues
A Zero-Risk Way to Fill Your Room and Increase Revenue
Partner with Throwback for Charity and turn a typical night into a high-energy, high-revenue event with great community goodwill for your establishment.
Why This Works for Your Venue
High-Spending, Underserved Demographic
We attract a 45 - 65 crowd with real disposable income—guests who order drinks, enjoy food, and stay longer. This is a market many venues overlook, but one that consistently delivers strong per-customer revenue.
We Bring the Audience
Through established local networks, social groups, and targeted promotion, we bring a built-in crowd that's actively looking for this kind of experience. No marketing spend required on your end except listing the event on your website and social media.
Turn First-Time Guests into Regulars
Our attendees value atmosphere, music, and connection. When they find a venue they enjoy, they come back—often bringing friends. This isn't just one night of revenue; it's an opportunity to build long-term customers.
Built-In Community Goodwill
Each event supports a local charity, giving your venue a positive community presence and an added reason for guests to choose your location over others.
