******August 18th: We’re funded! Thanks, everyone for your help! Late to the game? You can still donate!******

As the founder of OCF, I am personally taking on the financial responsibility to make sure this event happens. Though we are trying to get sponsors (please sponsor us!) there are costs associated with paying talent that I just can’t do alone. I have worked with performers for many years and I know there is nothing worse than expecting an artist to work for free.

Our goal is to pay every performer, cover venue fees, and make sure the marketing is ON POINT.  This fundraising goal will ensure we can cover costs that have already arisen, the remaining will come from ticket sales and sponsorships we hope to receive.

We are aiming to raise at least $2500.00, which will act as seed funding to cover costs for talent and venue fees. All other projected expenses will be covered by ticket sales. No matter how much we raise, this funding will be used to pay the talent.
