Look Up Be Happy, YOU are Chosen to Shine!
Since losing our son, Connor, in a tragic accident last October, and another tragedy two short months later, with the loss of his friend, Jordan Dupy, we have become committed to helping young adults. In keeping with that commitment, the 501(c)(3) not for profit organization, Chosen to Shine, has been created. We seek to give young adults hope for their future through faith, fellowship, music and motivation, with opportunity to serve others, leaving everyone in the knowledge that they matter and are chosen to shine!
We are excited about introducing our group to the Edwardsville and Glen Carbon community at our kick-off fundraiser, “Chosen Palooza”, which will be held the evening of Thursday, July 30th, at the Wildey Theater in downtown Edwardsville. This event will feature a number of very talented young performers from our Shine team and radio personality Kelly Corday as Master of Ceremonies. Tickets are available at The Wildey Theatre.
Everyone has a story on the inside…therefore, inside the bottom hem of this Look up, Be Happy t-shirt is a message from Connor. It was what he permanently had on his side. All proceeds from these shirts are to benefit Chosen to Shine non profit! They are available to order now at Chosen to Shine under the “shop” tab. The shirts are $25.00 with local pick up only at this time. While you are there, take the time to find out more about how you can join our Shine team on the “Join” page! “Like” our Face Book page to keep up with events!
