Past Events

Dueling For A Cause – Deuces Wild Dueling Pianos

SATURDAY OCTOBER 4, 2025 – 6:00 – 9:00 pm

We’re bringing the fun back to fundraising! And we want you on stage with us (figuratively, unless you’re a piano prodigy).

It’s an unforgettable evening featuring the wildly talented Deuces Wild Dueling Pianos, and it all benefits Empowering Kids – a local nonprofit changing lives one child, one family, one breakthrough at a time.

This isn’t your typical fundraiser. It’s bold. It’s loud. It’s a different kind of night out in Perham! It will be full of laughter, music, and impact. And we’re inviting you to help power it.

Join us and fuel a mission that’s truly gaining momentum! We have a range of ways you can participate: grab a sing-along pass for general admission, secure an exclusive ivory elite table, or go all-in as a grand piano sponsor to make an even bigger difference.
