FLORENCE– On Thursday, July 20th at 6 PM, The Salvation Army of The Shoals Echelon will host The 3rd Annual Karaoke Idol at FloBama. Echelon uses all proceeds of Karaoke Idol to purchase Thanksgiving baskets for families in need during the holiday season.
Echelon is the emerging young professionals branch of The Salvation Army’s Advisory Board. Members participate in different networking and fundraising events, as well as volunteer activities.
“We are excited to help local families with our 3rd Annual Karaoke Idol event.

Kick off Handy Week with a fun night singing karaoke!” says Bradford Bevis, Echelon member.
Sign-ups for karaoke will begin at 5 PM, with the event beginning at 6pm. It will be $20 to sing in the contest. Judges will include Marie Tomlinson Lewey, Tori Bailey, and Johnny Belew.
