Apply Now: Giant Missoula Talent Show/Fundraiser Looking for Acts
An amazing opportunity for both performers and the Missoula Community is coming up this spring.
If you're in a band, like to lip-sync, or like to dance, keep scrolling.
What It Is:
You've heard of a battle of the bands, right? And you've seen lip-sync battles and dance battles, but have you ever been to an event dedicated to all three?
We're so excited to announce the 2024 Battle to Beat Cancer, a fundraising event that will benefit Camp Mak-A-Dream.
Courtney Imhoff, Event Coordinator, says, "We know Missoula is full of talent and we wanted to see it all take over the Dennison in a bigger, grander way."
In the past, Camp Mak-A-Dream has hosted Lip-Sync Battles but this year, organizers wanted to expand the event. That's why participants can apply in three categories this year:
- Band
- Lip Sync
- Dance
What It's All For:
Camp Mak-A-Dream is celebrating its 30th season serving cancer survivors and their families. Originally, Camp served just kids but the program has expanded.
"It's a medically supervised entirely cost-free camp for kids, teens, adults, seniors, and families who are going through the harrowing journey of cancer," says George Laufenberg, Executive Director for Camp Mak-A-Dream.

"We have folks who are in treatment, or who are in remission, and they get to come for a week where the most prominent important thing about them for a week stops being their diagnosis. And they just get to be a kid or a person. Whatever their weird talent is on display, and all of the things that make life so much bigger than this incredibly hard thing they're going through," Laufenberg says.

The way that Camp remains cost-free is through the generous support of our community.
"This event is absolutely critical in terms of the funds that are raised which make it possible for (Camp) to be a cost-free experience," Laufenberg says, explaining that medical costs can bankrupt families. "This event--it's an incredible chance for people to get their talents on display."
