Hello my name is James Lowe and I am a event planner in Hutchinson Kansas. I am in the process of planning a series of community concerts in Central Kansas. These events have been sanctioned and approved by the City of Hutchinson Kansas. We also have gotten our local and unsigned bands lined up. We are in the beginning stages of finding funding to pay the musicians{they know they are doing it for free but I would like to give them a lil something.} We also need to pay our light and sound man.
What we are trying to do is provide community concerts for the public durning the months of June and July. We are also going to have groups such as boy scouts and the local homeless shelter to sell goods such as hot dogs and soda{No alchol will be served due to family event} The funds raised from the food and drink will be retained by the group as fundraising effort.
We will be using the money raised to pay the performers and sound man, we will take 0 in funds due to this being a community event.
What We Need & What You Get
We need abput 9000 dollars to put the whole event on...However we will be putting out money in paying the performers and soundman as well as advertising the event in local newspaper and on local radio.
We will be giving perks such as donations for
25.00/50.00/75.00/100.00
The Impact
This is being done as a community outreach and also being used as a local concert event to expose folks to new musicians in the area. The event is also being used to help fund raise for people such as Boy scouts,Lions club,etc.
We are hoping to establish a yearly event durning the summer months of June and July on Saturday nights.
