Ideas for Legions to Raise Funds

While mowing the lawn today I had a thought... well... I have lots of thoughts... but this is one I can share. Legions that are looking to raise funds should think about a few possible events. The first would be Tribute Talent Challenge. Singers would enter as their favourite artist... dead or alive... and dress, act and sing a song of theirs. Their would be a prize for each winner where there was at least two people competing. Elvis... Neil Diamond... Patsy Cline... Johnny Cash.... whomever. There could also be an overall winner for all those competing. Judging could be based on singing, stage presence, overall entertainment value, etc. Include a karaoke screen if you want.. because who cares... its about entertainment and raising funds. Some will use it... some won’t. Make it an event where you charge a fee to enter, as well as admission to watch the event. Have prices for Legion members and non-Legion members. Use the entry fee for the prize money. Would really not be that hard to do and it's just a little bit different then regular Karaoke. Over the years I have used Karaoke as a basis for various entertainment events... The Ajax Legion Karaoke League... Ajax Legion Karaoke Idol... World Karaoke Challenge Federation... Battle of the Sexes... Survivor Karaoke... to name a few... The second is an open mic. Let those that want to come in and do a standup comedy routine. Same concept really. Charge an entry fee and admission fee. It would be a different type of entertainment. You could expand on this and make it a variety show night... any entertainment allowed to enter. Yes I could do the sound and coordination on any of the above, but you may have your favourite entertainer that you would like to support. Just make sure you let me know you are having the event so I can share the info... and maybe enter! Stay well... Rob MacArthur The Multipotentialite #legion #rotary
