Fundraising<\/h4>\n

Similar to last year, this year\u2019s event will double as a fundraiser for ONA. We\u2019ll be using Crowdrise again, and encourage attendees to add campaigns and form teams: ONA karaoke party 2015.<\/p>\n

Last year, we raised more than $3,000, including more than $2,500 for former ONA president Jim Brady to sing. He let the largest donor choose his song: \u201cI Will Survive,\u201d the 70s classic by Gloria Gaynor.<\/p>\n

Donate to hear Meredith Artley and Jim Brady sing Sonny & Cher at ONA15.<\/p><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

This year current ONA President Meredith Artley and past President Jim Brady will participate in our kick-off campaign. Contribute here so we can hear them sing a duet as Sonny and Cher.<\/p>\n

Want to see your boss, colleagues or friends sing the song of your choice? Create a campaign to challenge them on our event page!<\/p>\n

All donations are tax-deductible and support ONA general programming.<\/p>\n

The event<\/h4>\n

Donations will only be accepted before the event, so be sure to start now!<\/p>\n

Sponsored singers will have scheduled slots for their performance. Everyone else at the event will be able to sign up for a request on a first come, first served basis. In other words, you don\u2019t have to pay to sing, but being sponsored or sponsoring yourself will guarantee you a spot.<\/p>\n
