The Karaoke 4 a Cause Host Committee is proud to present our 6th annual holiday celebration, benefiting the families at the Southeast White House.

Every year, we arrive ready to drink, sing and be merry. You don't need to be on a VIP list to get in; all you need is a brand new, awesome toy for us to give to the Southeast White House.

Last year this event helped to ensure that over 500 children woke up on Christmas day with a new toy. We also collected and distributed 50 bikes. We hope to make this year's event even more successful.

If you've never been, we'd love for you and your friends to join our tradition! If you're a regular, we look forward to catching up over drinks and your go-to karaoke song!
