Hey! Nope - all the mall shows are free! :) The two performances (Noon & 6 pm) in Ohio are just me - not a charity event. The Indiana mall show is actually a charity event, and I'll be kicking off the whole day and will be on stage from 12-12:30. The event is free - you can buy $8 wristbands if you want like food and special store discounts and stuff - but that's only if you want to. My show is absolutely free. I'm also gonna stick around afterwards to meet everybody for both the Indiana and Ohio shows. Hope this helps answer some people's questions:
Simon Muncie Mall will host its third annual "Simon Day of Giving" on November 18, 2007 from noon to 5:30 pm. This festive day of shopping and entertainment helps charities to raise funds during the holiday season.
One hundred percent of the proceeds will benefit participating charities as well as the Simon Youth Foundation, a not-for-profit organization that fosters educational and career development for at-risk youth.
The day of November 18, Simon Muncie Mall will have retail discounts and special offers reserved exclusively for the use of shoppers who have purchased $8 tickets. The event will feature exclusive store discounts throughout the mall, family entertainment, food sampling, and more! Up-and-coming actor/dancer Chris Koon will also be joining us to help kick off the event with his high-intensity choreographed stage show!
Last year's "Simon Day of Giving", held at 72 Simon Malls across the country, raised over $1,759,000 for over 2,490 national, regional, and local charities. Simon Muncie Mall's 2006 "Day of Giving" event raised over $10,000 that benefited over 25 charities.
