Please help us get the word out that LIPS 2020 – LIPS but not LIPS – is going virtual!
One of the Panhandle’s most beloved events is back for 2020- in virtual form. This year’s “Best of LIPS” virtual event is scheduled for October 15 at 7 p.m. It will be broadcast live on YouTube and will feature the highly sought-after silent and live auctions. The event will close with an enlightening show that provides a behind the scene’s view of the event’s most popular acts over the years.
“We know life has felt very strange for the last several months. We know that LIPS is a tradition that so many of our supporters and community members look forward to,” Jill Goodrich, executive director of Opportunity School. “It was important to us that we deliver LIPS again this year in some form while observing safety precautions during the COVID-19 pandemic.”
Opportunity School began presenting its very successful annual LIPS Fundraiser in 1993. LIPS is an evening of hilarious lip-sync variety acts where local personalities impersonate celebrities in a stage show along with a dinner, live auction and an amazing array of silent auction treasures. Local businesses and individuals support the event. LIPS is the school’s biggest night and contributes to the school’s annual operating budget.
“We have some unique elements planned for our supporters this year,” Goodrich said. “We are so grateful for the continued support of our families who rely on Opportunity School every day.”
LIPS will feature the great work of Opportunity School in serving children and families and the community will have the chance to bid on incredible COVID-friendly experiences, sponsor a child’s education and walk down memory lane with the “Best of LIPS” documentary with some of the most memorable performers over nearly 30 years since LIPS started.
