$1 – to sing a song

$3 – to sing a duet

$5 – groups of 3 or more

$5 – to sing a holiday song… though we still don’t recommend it! J

$5 – to STOP someone from singing, or to get yourself out of singing if someone else has signed you up. (Doesn’t apply to anyone wearing a wrist band… you guys are safe from singing all night no matter what!)

There will also be great drink specials:

$3 Well Drinks

$3 Italian Ice Shots

Also, come and check out our 50/50 raffle, St. Jude bracelets and calendars for sale! Start the holiday week off by giving back to sick children in need of your support!

This event includes an exquisite dinner, plenty of dancing and an exceptional silent auction. It has raised over $57,000 in the past 3 years for St. Jude from the Starlight Dinner Dance events. Charity-oke helps raise money towards our event. The Charity-oke “rules” will be as follows:

Please come support this wonderful cause. November is the St. Jude Thanks and Giving Campaign. As Thanksgiving is approaching, show thanks for the healthy children in your life by supporting the ones that need St. Jude the most! Spread the word, mark your calendars and come hang out at The Hills Restaurant and support this cause!
