Talent Show With a Purpose
Donation protected
Thanks to everyone's collective donations last year, we donated $900 towards the Backstoppers organization. In 2017, we'd like to raise even more!
More the merrier in regards to attendance. However, if you are unable to be there, you can still donate to the cause! We're asking for a minimum $15/person donation. Cash will also be accepted at the event.
To give everyone an idea of where their donated money is going towards, check out the list of acts below followed by the charity they are performing for:
1. Jackie Kauffmann – Stray Rescue
2. Jack Berg – Backstoppers
3. Mike Brazzle – Trisomy Research
4. Gary Sluhan – Backstoppers
5. James Schmittgens – Stray Rescue
6. Katherine Mary Sluhan – Shriners Hospital
7. Jake Powers – ALS foundation
Whoever wins will donate all the funds raised!
FAQ:
1. What event is being held and why is it happening? The event is a talent show! The show will happen on Saturday, 6/24/17 @ 6:30pm at Lions Club Park in St. Charles, MO. The goal is to raise as much money as possible for the charity of the talent show winner's choosing. Anyone can sign up and work with the talent show committee (DJ Wagner, Jackie Kauffmann, James Schmittgens, and Jon Clark) to ensure all stage equipment is ready to go on the night of the performance.
2. What type of acts are performed? There are no restrictions on acts - though we ask performers to refrain from too offensive language and content. We are trying to be relatively kid friendly. Last year we had dancers, singers, guitarist, trumpeters, a stand-up comedian, a variety act, and more!
3. Will there be food and beverage? There will be kegs of refreshing beer, though feel free to BYOB. Unfortunately there will be no food (i.e. more money for charity!). Please eat beforehand to avoid drinking on an empty stomach : )
4. What is the format of the talent show? There will be 1 round where every act gets a chance to showcase their talents. After all acts have gone, the crowd determines winner via a facebook link or good old hand written ballet. Winner determines which charity to make a donation with the funds raised. Proof of donation will be provided.
5. What does the winner win!? The winner chooses which charity will receive the funds raised! Similar to last year, proof of donation will be provided. Preface, GOFUNDME takes about 8% of all funds raised and we will use some of the money raised for event costs such as beer and any stage materials necessary.
