IN its eighth year the spotlight beamed down on Casey’s up-and-coming stars for the Cancer Council.
Rap, musical theatre, pop, and instrumental artists took centre stage on Sunday 26 June ahead of the ‘Star Search for a Cause’ grand final.
Judges put through 14 competitors for the grand final to be held at Westfield Fountain Gate on July 24.
With a crowd of around 280 people, event organiser Casey councillor Louise Berkelmans said more than $4000 was raised on the night, contributing to a grand total of $20,000 raised to support cancer research over the past eight years.
“We had four age sections from under 10 year olds to 30 and above – our youngest performer was seven years old and she has gone through to the grand final,” Cr Berkelmans said.
The audience watched 26 performers belt it out on the Arthur Wren Hall stage and Cr Berklemans said lowering the age range for competitors was a success.
