Danny Vernon brings his award-winning celebrity impersonation show "Illusion of Elvis" to the Mountain View Community Center, located above the Edgewood Community FISH Food Bank. An Edgewood native, Vernon is endorsed as a Top 10 Elvis in the World by Elvis Presley Enterprises. Known for high energy shows that connect with audiences, he enjoys performing songs from throughout Elvis' career. Vernon's wife, Marcia, "Ann-Margret," even performs alongside. The Vernons desire to give back to the community, and FISH Food Banks are grateful for their generous support.
Edgewood Community FISH Food Bank, located at 3607 122nd Avenue East, will be open for tours from 6:30 7:00 p.m. Doors open for the show at 7:00 p.m. and "Elvis" takes the stage at 7:30 p.m. Tickets are available for a $10 minimum donation or one bag of non-perishable food items.
All concert proceeds benefit the Edgewood Community Food Bank, and count towards the Feinstein Million Dollar Challenge. Feinstein divides his one million dollars proportionately among all food banks who participate in the challenge, according to the amount of food and cash donations collected before April 30.
Edgewood FISH serves Pierce County residents from not only Edgewood, but also Fife, Milton, Puyallup and Sumner, and client numbers are rising. In 2012, 43,294 children, adults and seniors who faced significant financial hardships were provided basic nutritional essentials, a 10% increase from 2011.
With your help, FISH will continue to provide food and services for individuals in need with compassion, dignity and respect. For every dollar donated, FISH can distribute seven dollars' worth of food.
