Fall Fundraiser

Talent for a good cause

Join the Klondike Kates for an afternoon of talent, laughter and a little friendly competition as members of the St. Paul Winter Carnival community take the stage.

Each act will perform on behalf of a nonprofit organization, competing for cash prizes for their chosen cause — and the audience gets in on the action, too. Cheer on your favorites and help decide who takes home the People’s Choice Award.

Talent that gives back

Every act takes the stage for more than bragging rights. Performers select a nonprofit organization to represent, with cash prizes awarded to the charities represented by the top three acts.

And then there’s People’s Choice.

Before and during the show, each act will raise money in support of the nonprofit they represent. The act that raises the most earns the People’s Choice Award — so bring your friends, pick your favorite and put your support behind a good cause.

Supporting the Klondike Kates

The Fall Fundraiser is the Royal Order of Klondike Kates’ largest annual fundraiser. Proceeds help support Klondike Kate traditions, performances and Winter Carnival programming, including the annual Klondike Kate Contest, Red Feather Saloon and Arctic Sizzle.

Come for the talent. Support some great causes. And spend an afternoon with the Kates and the St. Paul Winter Carnival community.
