The proceeds were to be divided between the two entities with LA Corp also receiving a gift of $174.00 from tips from performers during the after show held at Miss Kitty's. "It was a good time and success," said Kevin Holmes of LA Corp. "I was glad to be apart of it and hope that we will consider doing it again in 2014." The evening included a local vendors presenting their crafts, fashion showcase on a catwalk with a special appearance from the show cast of Miss Kitty's in a "big hair" walk off. Each community based organization will use the proceeds to facilitate their respective programming.
