The All Stars Project of Chicago hosted its final talent
show of 2011 at Harper High School in the Englewood neighborhood on Saturday,
December 10. Eighty-Eight enthusiastic performers from all over Chicago and
from cities in neighboring Indiana came out for a special One Day Event which
includes; an audition, a performance workshop and the talent show! The show opened
with a dynamic performance by the World Performance Team, an elementary school
drill team and continued with dance, rap, and vocal acts. The performers, diverse in style contributed
to the excitement of the day.
All Stars donors and their families also came out to see the
show through our Back to School program and presented ten youth volunteers and
performer with All Stars Community Spirit Awards. The awardees are young people
who are making a difference by helping the All Stars Project of Chicago grow in
communities throughout the city.
"It was really great for the young people and their parents
and families to see the people who are behind the All Stars and who make it
possible for us to have these shows in the community. We created a convergence of
poor youth and their families and successful and affluent professionals at
Harper High School. Each time our donors come out it is an inspiration to the
entire community and helps people see that we have a plan, we have committed
supporters and we are here to stay." says All Stars Project of Chicago
Director, David Cherry.
