Deadline Sunday for unmasked singers at Salvation Army fundraiser to raise money for homeless shelter

QUINCY — The Salvation Army Quincy Area Command unmasked Megan Peters as the fan favorite at the
organization’s fundraiser, Unmasking the Singer.

This unique head-to-head singing competition, where Quincy and Hannibal area celebrities/community members donned mascot costumes and sang for votes, was held April 29. This year’s event raised money for The Salvation Army to continue to provide shelter to the homeless in Quincy and Hannibal.

Donor Relations Coordinator Chad Douglas said in a press release, “It was such a special night to have fun and be entertained, all while unmasking a serious issue in Quincy and Hannibal, and that is the homeless problem.”

The fundraising is near the end. The eight contestants (Peters, Katelyn Woodward, Alex and Julie Ginos, Mark Kempker, Anthony Oliver, Patrick Hedges and Allison Hutson) are raising funds for The Salvation Army through Sunday, May 8. Donations can be made at bit.ly/UMTS22topfundraiser. The top fundraising award winner will be presented during the week of May 9.
