Mr. Greater Derry 2017

Last summer, the Mr. Greater Derry event was created to help fund Joshua Bourdons campaign. This, and future years will have a slightly different premise: to raise money for a local charity or cause.

The Responsibilities of "Mister Greater Derry":
Each year we do the MGD event, the winners responsibilities will include raising money or donating time/efforts towards charities/causes in the community throughout their time as Mister Greater Derry. When we come back around the following year, the outgoing MGD winner will choose a charity or cause in the community, and all proceeds of that years MGD event will go to their charity before crowning a new Mr. Greater Derry.

This Year's Cause:
This year, after having been chosen "Mr. Greater Derry" last August, I have chosen The Upper Room, a Family Resource Center as the cause I would like to support in Derry.
The goal of the event, being held August 24th, 7-9pm at the Derry Opera House, will be to raise as much money for The Upper Room, a Family Resource Center as possible with and vote for a new Mr. Greater Derry. We will make this a fun event like last year music, comedy, special talents and more just a fun evening out, with drink service provided by our friends at Amphora Restaurant.

Our Contestants:
We are assembling our list of contestants now! We'll be releasing the first round of tickets for the event in two weeks (May 1st) with an incentive to jump on board early. Our contestants will be recognizable faces in the community who have a history of participating, funding and collecting donations to make our community better!

Thanks to incredibly generous sponsors The Grind Rail Trail Cafe, Amphora Restaurant and La Carreta Londonderry, the Derry Opera House fees will be paid for, and ALL TICKET SALES will be going directly towards the cause!
