Why We're Doing This

Angie's Story

DJ Angie is a breast cancer survivor. She received her treatment at the Dartmouth Cancer Infusion Center, and the care she got there was the best in the industry. Four years later she is cancer-free — and ready to give back.

The Comfort Cart brings small comforts to patients during infusion treatment: warm blankets, snacks, drinks, and the little things that make long hours in a chair easier. Every dollar Causeoke raises goes to the cart.

How It Works

Four nights, one finale

1

Sign up, or just show up

Register to compete — contestants sing all five nights. Just want to sing? Walk-ups are welcome every night.

2

Sing the theme

Each of the four September nights has its own theme. Pick a song that fits and give it everything.

3

How you're scored

Anonymous judges score every performance 1–5 across six categories: song difficulty, vocal ability, stage presence, costume and props, audience participation, and karaokeness. Thirty is a perfect score.
