Happy Friday everyone!
Next week is the much anticipated Rock Bridge Show Choir 2015 Charity Benefit. I'm proud
to announce that the show choir kids voted and True North of Columbia was the
chosen charity. What a great organization!
If anyone isn't sure about True North, here is an excerpt
pulled right from their website:
"True
North emergency shelter provides a safe place for victims of domestic and
sexual violence fleeing from their abuser. Our statewide hotline is available
toll-free and provides referral information, emotional support and safety
planning twenty-four hours a day, three hundred and sixty five days a year."
So, great
organization and great kids to raise money and awareness!
We are
going to have a fun night of performance and fund raising. This year, we have
had local businesses donate some great prizes to raffle off. We have
dinner certificates, hot yoga passes, a massage, gift baskets and a beautiful
necklace donated by L.C.Betz with a value of $300.00! I will recognize
all donations by their name at the benefit, there are just too many and I don't
want to forget one person or business. The raffle ticket cost will be
$1.00 per ticket, $5.00 for 6 tickets, and 10.00 for 12 tickets! We
wanted to give everyone a chance to win one of these great prizes.
So, my
"ASK" of you is to help spread the word
about the performance AND come enjoy our multi-award winning Rock Bridge show choirs,
knowing that every dollar from entrance fee
to any extra donation will go directly to True North.
We will also have places to drop your tangible donations
of diapers, baby wipes, toiletries etc., so please pick up something to drop in
our donation box. (A free raffle ticket for each donation in the box!).
So, let's
get this ball rolling! Tuesday, February 10th, 7:00pm at the Rock Bridge Performing Arts Center.
Thank you
to all the volunteers and parents of these great kids!
