Get Ready for Project 16:49 The Masked Singer!

Feb 232021

What is Project 16:49 The Masked Singer?

It’s the COVID alternative to our popular Lip Sync Battle competition and fundraiser!

Due to the pandemic, the Project 16:49 The Masked Singer online event is being held instead. Our annual Lip Sync Battle event raises over $30,000 to benefit our community’s unaccompanied homeless youth, so your financial support is appreciated.

In case you’re not familiar, the Lip Sync Battle is a community-wide, no-holds barred evening of “live” lip sync performances and fun to benefit Project 16:49 and Rock County’s unaccompanied homeless youth.

Head on over to the Project 16:49 The Masked Singer page to view videos, vote for your favorite performance, participate in the silent auction, donate to Project 16:49, and learn about our livestreamed “unmasking” event when we’ll reveal the contest winner and reveal who is behind the masks!

Voting is open from February 25 thru March 10. Thanks for your support!
