The Weyburn Communithon Entertainment Committee has put out a call for performers for the 43rd annual Weyburn Communithon.

This October 25th, the annual telethon will go live from 8 a.m. to 11 p.m., with a fundraising goal of $98,000 in support of eight community agencies that provide crucial support services within the community.

The ongoing Communithon theme is 'Fall in Love with Communithon', and this year's sub-theme is, 'It’s Our Time'.

As always, the event's live, in-person entertainment depends on local performers to sign up, take the stage, and share their talent.

To take part in this year's event, performers can fill out the application form, and then email it back to communithonentertainment@gmail.com. Applications need to be submitted by October 4th. Anyone with questions can use the same email address to get their answers and clarifications.

"Each year, performers come out and help to raise much-needed funds for these community agencies so they can continue to provide their valuable programs and services for the citizens of our city and surrounding area," shared Entertainment Committee Chair, Korryn Kubashek. 

She said this year, a 'Lip Sync Battle' as well as a 'Battle of the Air Bands' will be featured.

"The Entertainment Committee, alongside the Youth Ambassadors, welcome individuals and community groups to join in on these fun new spotlights."

This year's community agencies that will benefit from your talents are Big Brothers Big Sisters Weyburn, the Canadian Mental Health Association Weyburn Branch, the  Canadian National Institute for the Blind, Weyburn Care-A-Van Society, Envision Counselling & Support Centre, Inclusion Weyburn, Southeast Newcomer Services Weyburn, and Spinal Cord Injury Saskatchewan.
