Best Entertainment for Grocery Industry’s Ball

Best Entertainment for Grocery Industry’s Ball by StarJam’s Children

Twenty-two young people with disabilities are expected to provide the best entertainment in the six year history of the Grocery Charity Ball. So impressed with the young performers, Dominic Bowden is flying from Los Angeles to Auckland especially to MC the show. “I am really happy that I’m able to come over and share the stage with these kids”, said Dominic. “StarJam is doing amazing work and the kids blow you away with their talents.” Temuera Morrison, Adeaze and Ray Woolf will be performing with the children.

“Increasingly performances by StarJam’s children are receiving more accolades than the headline star at glitzy events.” Says StarJam’s CEO and Founder. “Audiences start standing up even before the performance is finished.” At the Halberg Awards this year the StarJam performance received the only standing ovation of the evening.

“This will definitely be the best entertainment in the Grocery Charity Ball’s history” says Don Graham, Chairman of the Grocery Charity Ball Trust who saw the children rehearsing recently. “In past balls we have flown in at a huge cost, musical acts such as String Divas and the Singing Tenor Waiters but nothing could compare with the talent that the StarJam team produce. Another first is that is that the ball’s entertainment is being provided by the children who will benefit from the event.”

The group of children who have disabilities including blindness, muscular dystrophy, Fragile X, Down Syndrome and cerebral palsy will be performing together for the first time. They include Wellingtonian, Renee Maurice, recent runner up in TVNZ Good Morning’s ‘Find a Star’ and dancer Loren Corbett from Whangarei.

StarJam, a non-profit organisation which creates outstanding performance opportunities for young people with disabilities, is known for its inspiring performances. Out of 68 organisations who applied, StarJam was chosen to be the beneficiary of the Grocery Charity Ball for 09. The event which is on 28th August at Sky City Convention Centre is the only time each year when grocery giants Progressive and Foodstuffs join forces. It is expected to raise several hundred thousand dollars.

Standing ovations. Disabled kids. Changing lives.
