Kids! Live! Benefit Takes Center Stage, Sunday, July 13!
A big thank you to all of you who joined us for our Benefit performance of "Amazing Kids! Live!" on Sunday, July 13. The show was a great success and we received lots of wonderful comments after the show! The show was a live variety/talk show celebrating kids and the amazing things they can do! Featured were amazing X-treme sports demos, amazing dance/singing numbers by the AK Crew!, the "Most Talented Kid in America," 7 year old Colton Burton, and a host of other amazing, talented and gifted kids.
Lizzie McGuire fans got the chance to bid on an autographed photo of Hillary Duff ("Lizzie McGuire") and some original Muppet merchandise courtesy of the wonderful folks at the Jim Henson Company. Beso, an amazingly gifted young artist, donated his beautiful painting "Can You See the Truth" for our silent auction and donated 100% of the proceeds to Amazing Kids! Thanks again to all of you who donated your time, services, or products to help make this event a success!
We hope to see this show become a television show some day soon. If you might be interested in watching the Amazing Kids! television show in your home town, why not email us and let us know? info@amazing-kids.org.
