The cost of producing our first-class events is overwhelming--purchasing music, renting costumes, securing props--to name a few items--is a huge expense. Each member is asked to contribute $25 to help with some of these costs, but because part of our mission is to donate a large portion of our proceeds to local charities, we try to secure donations via sponsorships and fundraisers to help us with necessary expenses.
To help offset the cost of our musical productions, we host a fundraiser each year. Last year, selected choir members teased our guests with some popular "British" themed songs that weren't featured in our 2024 show; it was a night to remember! This year we are bringing TWO new exciting fundraisers to the community: First, we will be hosting The Original Bandingo! Musical Bingo at the Paddock Pub on the THIRD THURSDAY of every month EXCEPT April and December. This is NOT your grandma's BINGO...but we promise you a night filled with a blend of bingo, music, trivia and interactive entertainment! Don't recognize some of the songs being played? No problem--we encourage you to ask your table mates, use an app like Shazam or even ask the hosts if you get stumped! $10 gets you at least 10 games and lots of fun and laughs!!! Doors open at 5:30 pm, games will be played from 6:30-8:30ish. Great prizes are awarded to winners, and we also host a 50/50 raffle! We hope you'll join us for this very popular evening of music and fun! In anticipation of our 2025 "Back to the Future: A Musical Variety Show," we had a fun fundraiser on October 18, 2024. Guests re-lived the magic of prom night as they stepped back in time (see what we did there) and into a world of retro charm at our "Enchantment Under the Sea: A Prom Night Do-Over!". We even crowned our very own prom queen and king! Check out memories from the evening at the video to the left. |
