American Red Cross

Showtime Entertainment of Iowa did fund-raising at shows in the Des Moines, Iowa area to help raise funds for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund for Hurricane Katrina!!!

Since we are in the entertainment business, we want giving to be fun and for those involved to be entertained, however, we do realize that this disaster is not a laughing matter. Our prayers, thoughts and hearts go out to those affected by Hurricane Katrina! -- Rick Ludwig - owner of Showtime Entertainment of Iowa

With the tragic attack on America on 9/11/01, Showtime Entertainment began an immediate fund raising campaign on 9/12/01 for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. The Fund-Raiser was organized by Woody, the owner of Wrigley's and Showtime Entertainment's involvement was to donate our time and use of karaoke equipment!

On Sunday, September 16th, 2001 from 5pm - Midnight a special karaoke show was held at Wrigley's West (86th & Douglas, by Hy-Vee) in Urbandale.

Also, on Sunday, October 21st, 2001 a special concert & karaoke show was held at Wrigley's West (86th & Douglas, by Hy-Vee) in Urbandale.

This special concert & karaoke benefit was held to raise funds for the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund, in lieu of what happened to Americans and their families.

Wrigley's owner Woody donated over $500 to the American Red Cross Disaster Relief Fund. Every little bit helps! And I'm proud to be an American... where at least I know I'm free...
