As a result of attending past talent shows, I can attest that this is a really cool event.
SOS Crown Heights recruits youth from its catchment area (the area formed by Kingston, Atlantic, Utica and EP), and then helps them practice a routine for the show.
The prizes will go to the winners of the show, as well as attendees who win the raffle.
Some years, as many as 300 people have been involved in this annual event.
Donations from businesses outside of the catchment area are certainly welcome.
...Tinto Cafe on Nostrand recently held a fundraiser for them. -
Talent recruitment has begun:
Donations and prizes are still being accepted. -
I have been told that lots of talent showed up on March 14th, and that the 2015 “Stop Shooting Start Living” Talent Show remains on track to take place on Saturday, March 28th from 3:30 - 5:30.
Location: PS 289

The “Stop Shooting, Start Living” S.O.S. talent show is a chance to showcase singers, rappers, dancers, drummers, poets, actors, and many more talented members of Crown Heights and Bed-Stuy, all united to stand against violence.
In addition to great entertainment, members of the S.O.S. team lead the audience in anti-violence cheers and raffle off prizes from local businesses and restaurants throughout the event. View a video of the 2014 Talent Show below.
Admission to the Talent Show is free with a ticket.
To pick up tickets, contact Jazzi at [email protected] or call 917-244-7185.

Do you know if they are still looking for donations?

You could probably show up to the show early with gift certificates, and give them to Jazzi or Heather.
