Evansville ARC’s 2012 Really Big Show
February 8, 2012
We are pleased to, once again, be among the sponsors for Evansville ARC’s Really Big Show. Evansville ARC‘s mission is simple: “To advance the value of and respect for all individuals with disabilities by providing opportunities for development, employment, and independence.”
The Really Big Show is Evansville ARC’s signature fundraising event. From the Evansville ARC website:
The Really Big Show is a community variety show, hosted by 14WFIE meteorologist and Evansville ARC board member Jeff Lyons, bringing together some of the best musicians, dancers, comedians and entertainers in the Tri-State (and a few guest appearances by community notables). The event is hosted at The Centre in Evansville, and is followed by a Curtain Call Reception including hors d’oeuvres, drinks, dancing, and a silent auction to benefit the Bayleigh Pauckner Endowment to support the Child Life Center. Proceeds from ticket sales and sponsorship benefit the area of greatest need at Evansville ARC.
Each year The Really Big Show has a different theme. Each theme has been extremely entertaining from The Love Boat, to Carnaval, to last year’s Really Big Radio Show. Last year’s show detailed the history of radio since Evansville ARC began in 1954. Some of the radio programs even featured Foley artists displaying their sound effect creation capabilities. It was a fun way to tell the history of this amazing Evansville organization and how they have adapted and evolved over the years. Maybe with this year’s theme of Star Trek (ARC Trek), they’ll tell the future!
