"Singing For SCS" An Outdoor Karaoke Fundraiser!

The members of the Young Professionals of Southwest Community Services (SCS) are proud to announce their inaugural karaoke contest ‘Singing for SCS”. This event is scheduled for August 10 at Tinley Bowl, 7601 W. 183rd. Street in Tinley Park and will take place in their beer garden, making it the first outdoor karaoke contest of its kind! (Weather permitting)

We are looking for 40 of the best singers from around the area, hand-picked by our members, compete for 1st through 10th place. No singer will sing the same song, so we look to have 40 great performances of 40 of your favorite songs! And you get to pick the winners!

Proceeds from this event will provide social and entertainment activities to the consumers of Southwest Community Services and the children from Southwest Therapy and Rehabilitation Center (STARS), a program of SCS located in Mokena. Activities include the Spring Fling dance, bowling and pizza party, and Halloween Hip Hop. Our goal is to raise money for more community integration activities.
