The Showstoppers singing troupe has been sharing their time and talent delivering live musical entertainment to the community on a volunteer basis for several years, but now they need the community’s support. They are gearing up for their August 8 Walt Disney World performance at the Waterside Stage in Downtown Disney and are $4,000 short of their fundraising goal.
They have set up an online fundraising campaign in an attempt to raise the remaining funds needed to offset some of their travel expenses. Donations can be made up until August 8 by visiting www.gofundme.com and typing in “Showstoppers Walt Disney World Performance” to make a tax-deductible donation.
The performance troupe, comprised of 29 talented boys and girls from the local area who range in age from 6 to 19, delivers more than 50 shows per year at nursing homes, senior centers, fairs and festivals, community fundraisers and other civic events. This year they have been rewarded with an invitation to perform in Disney World, just as the troupe before them did five years ago.
“This is such a fitting reward for an amazing group of kids who bring so much joy to others through song. They are not just performance-loving kids; they are a group of kids who care about their community, who embrace the elderly, and who reach out to make a difference in the lives of those less fortunate. It has been a pleasure to work with them,” said Kelly Zucco, Co-Founder and Director.
