WHAT'S IT ALL ABOUT?

THE PROJECT — "SUNNY and the KIDS" is a two-part effort to raise $30,000 for the Rotary Kids Water Spray Park whilst showcasing Sidney's own music sensation, Sunny Shams—operatic tenor and jazz musician. Three hundred Saanich Peninsula students will be guests of the community to listen to one of their own perform at the concert dress rehearsal.

THE EVENT —There will be two back to back musical concerts at the end of July featuring “SUNNY SHAMS AND FRIENDS” performing classical opera as well as contemporary jazz. The performance will include other local musicians and singers, including two peninsula students who may well be performing for a paid audience for the first time in their life. Six peninsula schools will select their musical “Idol” to represent their school, and these six nominees will perform for adjudicators prior to the concerts, at the dress rehearsal. The adjudicators will choose two students to be introduced to the audience by Sunny, and they will perform for you each concert evening.

THE FUND-RAISING —Saanich Peninsula businesses, families, associations and individuals will be approached to finance seats for the 300 students to attend the dress rehearsal for the concert. Every dollar raised will go in its entirety to fund the Rotary Water Spray Park for the kids. If you would like to support the water park and finance students into the dress rehearsal at the same time, please let us know at info@sunnyshams.com or phone LuAnn at 656-7077. The price is $100 per student, and a tax receipt will be issued for personal contributions.
