Boogie for Balance Has Been Postponed!!

Sometimes the best move is knowing when to change the beat.

We’ve made the decision to postpone this year’s Boogie for Balance and move our celebration to a new date.

Stay tuned for our newly scheduled date! We’ll be sharing the details as soon as they’re finalized, and we hope you’ll join us when it’s time to Boogie.

To everyone who has supported, sponsored, donated, volunteered, and cheered us on—thank you. Your enthusiasm for this event and your belief in our mission mean more than you know.

All registrations will be promptly returned.

🎤 Only 24 Contestant Spots Available!

And don't worry...
You absolutely DO NOT have to sing to have an amazing time.
In fact, many people will tell you it's even more fun to sit back, laugh, vote for your favorites, and watch the show unfold!
Why Karaoke?
Because courage doesn't always have to look serious.
At The Benefit of Balance, we believe growth often begins the moment we step outside our comfort zone.
For some people, that's speaking up.
For others, it's trying something new.
For us...
It's grabbing a microphone and singing your heart out in front of a room full of cheering strangers.
If you can do something you never thought you could do—like karaoke—you just might discover you're capable of far more than you imagined.
Our mission is serious.
The way we celebrate it doesn't have to be.
Less Stress. More Music. All for a Great Cause.
