At Star
Angels Network, we host an annual fundraiser for the Special Persons Advocacy Network
(SPAN). SPAN provides education and
support services for developmentally disabled citizens and their families. They
offer recreational and social opportunities and provide funds for respite
services. Long term goals for SPAN include assisting with housing for these
individuals living in Boyle, Garrard, Lincoln, and Mercer Counties. SPAN meets
monthly and now depends on us as one
of their top yearly fundraisers!
To show support for them, The Star Angels Network has initiated an
annual pageant and talent showcase for exceptional children and adults. This pageant provides a fun filled
opportunity for each of these Exceptional Star Angels to shine and show off
their talents at no cost to the contestants while they help raise money for a
local agency which caters to their specific needs. They feel valued, admired and have the
enjoyment of performing for an audience who support and encourage them to excel
despite their disabilities.
Children and adults of all ages who
live with a cognitive or developmental disability are welcome to apply. We
provide everything free of charge excluding only shoes and transportation to
tux and dress fittings, rehearsals, and other pageant related events. All contestants receive an award which they
earn through their individual talent and positive attributes. Any and all profits made before the event go toward pageant cost with all proceeds the day
of the event going straight to SPAN. All of the wonderful people who help make
this happen work on a volunteer only basis. Volunteers can help by signing up
in multiple ways including; donating services such as hair, gowns, photography,
silent auction items, ect., recruiting sponsors, assisting in fundraising
events, assisting with contestants during rehearsal times and pageant day,
set-up and clean-up the day of the event, and so many other ways. Bring your
heart and individual talent to this event and help us in our path to great positive change!
