Nick and Hayden's Heroes Update


I am overwhelmed and humbled by the amount of support we have received in the past 2 months for our Cystic Fibrosis Fundraising Event. Due to the support of parents, teachers, students, local businesses, friends, and family, we are well on our way to our goal of $10,000!

For those of you that have been living in a cave for the past 2 months, our annual fundraising event, "Tunes For a Cure", will be held on November 4th at the Hampton Community Center from 1pm till 5pm. The theme of this event is "An Afternoon at the Oscars" where many talented performers will be displaying their talents. From solos, to barbershop quartets to ensembles, this is certainly an event you don't want to miss! We also have awesome Chinese and silent auctions, 50/50 drawing for some incredible prizes, and gourmet desserts. The cost of this event is $15 per person or $100 per table of 8. This year should be a sell out, so I urge anyone interested in acquiring a full table to grab one right away. We only have a total of 28 tables and more than half are sold! (This does not include the large amount of single ticket sales)

As far as the facility goes, The Hampton Community Center is a beautifully updated banquet room with a great sound system. I have personally checked out the sound system, and it is more than adequate for the solos and duets as well as pianists. It has 2 wireless mics and two wired mics as well as a built in CD player to accommodate background vocals for Karaoke Cd's or background accompaniment. For bands, however, I would bring your own equipment for balance issues as this is a ceiling mounted speaker system.

Please feel free to email us at intune1@nauticom.net for further information and again thank you for your support in making a difference in the lives of these children.
