As we showed you on News Center 7 at 11:00, event organizers said they could have turned the event into a two- or three-day event with non-stop performances.

“That’s how many people, you know, wanted to contribute,” Greg Titus, Holland Theatre’s executive director, said.

Organizers collected donations through sales of tickets and T-shirts. Two food trucks were on site. There also was a live auction featuring Ohio State University football goodies from one of the emcees – former Buckeyes quarterback Justin Zwick.
