Youth Showcase, Auction features rising stars in benefit for Child Advocacy Center

 

The Third Annual Youth Showcase and Auction on April 22 will feature rising stars—extremely talented performers in their late teens and early 20s—in a benefit for the Child Advocacy Center of Anderson County, a press release said.

The Youth Showcase and Auction is scheduled from 6 to 9 p.m. Friday, April 22, at the Grove Theater in Oak Ridge. Tickets are $25 for adults and $15 per child/youth.

“Arrive at 6 p.m. to enjoy delicious treats, socialize, and browse the silent auction items,” the press release said. The performance begins at 6:45 p.m.

Matt Shafer Powell of WUOT-FM will be the master of ceremonies.

“Zach Farrar returns as auctioneer, and will get (the) audience bidding on exciting items such as Disney Park Hopper tickets, a Volunteer Princess Sunset Dinner cruise for two, beautiful quilt, etc., during the performance,” the release said. There will also be a raffle.

All proceeds will be used to provide services for children who have been victims or witnesses of child abuse, neglect, or other crimes. The services are provided by the Child Advocacy Center of Anderson County, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit charitable organization.

Tickets are available online here. There is also a link on the Child Advocacy Center website. They will also be available at the door. The website also has a list of auction items. The list is updated regularly. For more information contact Margaret Durgin at (865) 463-2740.

“Help raise funds to provide services for children while having fun,” the press release said. “It is the event to be at this year!”

The Grove Theater is located at 123 Randolph Road in Oak Ridge.

More information will be added as it becomes available.
