McKendree Idol

McKendree Idol

Will you be the next…McKendree Idol? Campus Activities Board and CLIO present the Fifth Annual McKendree Idol Fund Raiser for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Foundation. The purpose if this event is two-fold: 1) It is a fun event that showcases the talents of our McKendree students, 2) McKendree Idol serves as a fundraiser for the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Fund. To date, CLIO and Campus Activities Board have raised over $3500 to aid in breast cancer research.

The competition has three levels: auditions (March 30 - 8pm in Upper Deneen, March 31 - 9pm in Upper Deneen), eliminations (April 10 at 8:30pm in Ames Dining Hall), and final competition (April 24 - 8:30pm at the Hett).

The finals will be a ticketed event. Students may pick up their free tickets for the McKendree Idol Finals on April 18 between 9am and 5pm in the CAB Office. Cost after April 18th is only $2. Cost for faculty, staff, and non-students is $5.00. All ticket monies will be donated to the Susan G. Komen Breast Cancer Fund.

Prizes will be awarded in the following categories:

Highest Donation Award – i-Pod Nano to the contestant in the Top 6 that raises the most money.
