Relay for Life Benefit Concert

Relay for life was last weekend in New Hanover County and Whiteville.  A friend Russell Smith, with Equity Mortgage, raises money and performs in a benefit concert where several men dress up and sing as women.  It's a hilarious and fun event and I had the opportunity of attending this year.  For an incredible cause, these guys raised around $12,000...many of them, including Russell, over $3,000 individually.  I went down with another friend, and we started to worry on the drive that we weren't going to make it in time.  Fingers were crossed that they were behind schedule a little.  We finally got there, got lucky with a parking spot, and ran to the stage beside the track.  There were so many people there - it was awesome!  We caught the tale end of another performer and then they announced that PINK (Russell) would be on next as the last performer.  Talk about timing!  It was so great!  'She' had a manager, back up dancers/singers, a costume change (sort of), special effects/smoke, and raving fans!!!  Of course, with all that, PINK had to win Best Performance!  I wish I could remember all the names of the other contestants, that alone was funny, and I'm sure they all put on a great show (hate we missed them).  Check out PINKs performance for yourself in the video below!
