Would you like to be a part of a charity organization that raises funds while spotlighting local talent?!

ABOUT US:

We believe there is a lack of awareness of local Calgary-based charities. Many local charities in Calgary go unnoticed or underfunded due to a lack of exposure. In addition, there is a lot of unrecognized talent here at the UofC. We would like to utilize the untapped talent to spread awareness on local charities. We hope to create a sense of community and cohesion amongst the different faculties at the UofC, with all students united to achieve the specific goal of shedding light on various charities and raising funds.

Every semester, we hope to host a benefit talent show, showcasing various acts from students across the UofC community. We want to leave the students, the charities and the audience feeling empowered and like they have truly made a difference.  

Each act will choose and represent a local Calgary-based charity. They will prepare a small pre-performance speech explaining why they chose that specific charity that will be presented during the talent show.
All proceeds (including ticket sales) will go to the winning charity, providing students with the opportunity to directly give back to their community. The audience will vote on the winner after all the performances. This empowers the audience by giving them the chance to directly influence where all the funds will go to.
While there will be only one winning charity receiving donations, ALL the local charities will receive exposure during the event through both the pre-performance speeches as well as booths that will be set up during the event.

Talent can often go unnoticed due to a lack of opportunities and exposure. We hope to showcase the talent of UofC students by providing them with a platform and an audience. In addition, we want to invite talent agencies to our event to scout out new acts.
