United Way of Greater Nashua Opens Signups For Nov. 6 Care-E-Oke Event

NASHUA, NH — United Way of Greater Nashua is bringing back its annual Care-E-Oke fundraiser on Friday, Nov. 6, at the Nashua Center for the Arts.

The fourth annual karaoke event is scheduled from 7 to 10 p.m., and contestant registration is now open.

The organization said the event raises money for its Community Impact Fund. Its proceeds provide grants to local nonprofit organizations and support United Way programs focused on health, education, financial stability, and basic needs across Greater Nashua.

Care-E-Oke includes a live audience and a panel of celebrity judges, with contestants competing for what the release described as bragging rights, community recognition and the title of Care-E-Oke Champion. United Way said the event brings together community members, local businesses, nonprofit supporters and performers for an evening centered on fundraising for local families and individuals.

"Care-E-Oke has become one of our most exciting and impactful community events because it gives everyone a chance to participate," Mike Apfelberg, the president of United Way of Greater Nashua, said. "Whether you're stepping on stage, buying a ticket, bringing a group of friends, sponsoring the event, or cheering from the audience, you're helping us support programs that make a real difference in people's lives. We encourage everyone to sign up early, purchase tickets today, and join us for an incredible night that will benefit our entire community."

Early ticket discounts are available.

Tickets purchased through Oct. 31 are 10 percent off. Tickets purchased on or after Nov. 1 are full price, and the promotional code is EARLYBIRD.

United Way is also encouraging residents to register as contestants, buy tickets, invite others, support performers through donations, or become event sponsors.
