Saving the world, one event at a time

Posted By on Fri, Jun 5, 2009 at 2:53 PM

What better to do this weekend than to save the world?

Friday night The Chuckleheads will make you chuckle for charity.

The Chuckleheads will kick off the "Friday Night Funnies Comedy Series" at City Cafe Restaurant, 128 S. Main St. in Mt. Holly, with a charity show benefiting the Community Relief Organization. Show starts at 8 p.m. and admission is free but donations are accepted. The Community Relief Organization (CRO) of Mt Holly is an organization created and supported by local churches to help those less fortunate by providing food and other items.

Also on Friday, there's a charity event in Rock Hill. Country singer Chris Young — he's a Nashville Star winner — will be performing two shows at the Long Branch Saloon for a benefit for the SCLEOA. Tickets are $12 and it's going on at 7 and 10 p.m.

And on Saturday you can be a shopping saint in Misa's Closet, a consignment sale at The Residence at SouthPark (Penthouse 529) with the sale benefiting The Leukemia & Lymphoma Society.

Misa's Closet will be a consignment sale created by Misa Hylton, award winning fashion stylist and the creative mind that developed iconic images such as Mary J. Blige, Little Kim, Lisa Raye, Missy Elliott, Queen Latifah, Kimora Lee, Fat Joe and 50 Cent, to name a few. There will be an admission fee of $25 for the VIP Pre-Sale from 10 a.m. to noon and $5 for the public sale from noon - 4 p.m. any items that do not sell will go to "Dress for Success" Charlotte.

And on Sunday there's a Festival of Hope in loving memory of Hope Stout at Beantown Tavern at the Fountains (on the corner of Audrey Hell and Tom Short) from 2 - 6 p.m. with live music from The Wax Gurus.

Meanwhile, Pops in the Park and the Marshall Park Music Festival both start this Sunday. Party in the parks with jazz music by day at Marshall park and the Charlotte Symphony by night at Symphony Park.
