It’s been a whirlwind over the last couple of months! We have come a long way!

But I still need a little bit more help!

1) I need a few volunteers who are able to help judge auditions. I don’t need someone to commit to all of them. Even just one would be a huge help. I am also looking for a local influencer or “celebrity” who would be willing to help judge the final event.

2) I need volunteers to help on the day of the event with small background positions

3) I am still looking for community or business sponsors. My goal is to have all ticket, audition registration and silent auction sales to go directly to the CMHA. I need help covering the overhead costs, which isn’t a lot, but would love to make sure everything goes to the intended place. Small amounts make a difference as well. Pass on the information to your bosses, accounting, whomever. And let’s see what we can do !

Thank you so much !
