Make Some Noise for Youth Be Heard - 2024

Event closed

340 Montclaire Ave

Edwardsville, IL 62025, USA

🎉 Excitement is in the air! Get ready to be part of something extraordinary at Youth Be Heard's fundraising event. It's an event like no other, and we want you to be there! 🎉


Each attendee who purchases a general admission ticket can add an interactive challenge. These include painting, poetry, pottery, and dancing (think TikTok or lip-sync... the only rule is to have fun). With the purchase of a creative challenge, you can invite friends to join your team (only one ticket needed per team). 


Have someone you want to see take on the challenge? Snag them a ticket (you can choose to surprise them on event night)! Prizes will be awarded! 


If you're not into the creative challenges, we still want to see you! Come and enjoy social time, food, drinks, entertainment, and voting on the creative events.


Every registration brings us closer to achieving our mission: for all youth to believe in their own value and potential. We help youth build confidence through editing, publishing, and mentoring in writing and art. Learn more about us and our impact.


Your support is invaluable!

Note: on checkout you can change the "contribution" to Zeffy to $0. It does not go to Youth Be Heard.
