Sign up to 'Sing for Cransley' and support local hospice care
Following the huge success of last year’s event, Cransley Hospice Trust are seeking ten groups or individuals who are keen to perform a fabulous song from a ‘movie soundtrack’ in front of a captive audience live on stage at The Core at Corby Cube on Sunday 16th March 2025 as part of their ‘Sing for Cransley’ event.
Groups of any size are encouraged to come together and sign up for the challenge, with individuals also welcome to apply for the first time this year. All ages are welcome to take part. The only rule is that participants should not be currently part of a professional singing group or choir... this is an opportunity for all the wannabe’s to shine! Applications are open now and will close on the 15th December 2024.
Successful applicants will be paired up with a professional singing coach in January and offered at least four weeks of free vocal coaching over an eight week rehearsal period to ensure they are confident and show ready!
Each group is asked to pledge to fundraise at least £500 for the charity as they rehearse, with the hope that the event will raise over £20,000. Last year’s ‘highest fundraisers’ managed to raise an incredible £2,500!
Performances on the night will be judged by the professional panel – with local and national celebrities and singing sensations amongst them. There will be three exciting trophies up for grabs; judges choice, audience choice and the highest fundraiser. Could anyone dare to dream of scooping all three?
Sarah Caldwell, Community Fundraiser – Events commented: “We are incredibly excited to be on the lookout for the stars of next year’s ‘Sing for Cransley’ event. The teams that participated last year had ‘the time of their lives’ and we are intrigued to see who will be treading the boards on stage in March 2025!
We’re also on the lookout for corporate sponsorship for the event, so if any local businesses are looking to have their name in lights as part of ‘Sing for Cransley’ we encourage you to get in touch with us on 0300 274040!”
Elevate yourself from singing in the shower to singing on stage – and all in aid of Cransley Hospice Trust, raising essential funds to support and develop modern hospice care and services for people with a life-limiting illness and their families in our community... because every moment matters.
