Arlington’s Got Talent – Call for Talent!

The AHS Scoops club is excited to announce that Scoopermania IS BACK! However, instead of the traditional all-you-can-eat-ice cream, this year’s fundraiser has been transitioned into a new, safe, and remote event.

This year, the AHS Scoops Club with the help of ACMI will host the first ever ARLINGTON’S GOT TALENT community-wide virtual talent show! Anyone or group of any age is invited to submit an up to 4 minute video of themselves performing a talent of their choosing, including but not limited to: singing, dancing, magic, performing a dramatic monologue, comedy act, or anything else by Saturday, June 13th (video requirements linked below)! Creativity is highly encouraged! Submissions will be compiled together and presented during an online talent show LIVE STREAM on June 20th starting at 6 PM.

During this youtube live stream, we will be accepting donations with all proceeds going towards the Jimmy Fund and supporting leaders at the Dana-Farber Cancer Institute to enhance programs and initiatives that serve pediatric and adult cancer patients and their families. Additionally, gift card drawings from various local businesses will be raffled off throughout the live show.

We encourage everyone, whether it be organizing, donating, or participating, to tune in and support this united community event and to celebrate Arlington creativity and diversity, no matter how separated we are!

Any questions or issues can be directed to Sagar Rastogi at srastogi2021@spyponders.com.

GO SCOOPS!
