TKCS Watch Party
We also hosted a community Watch Party at Chapstick Sports Bar to celebrate together as the segment aired locally on November 12. The only thing better than watching this segment, was watching it in community with our artists, current and former board members, volunteers, donors, current and former staff, and general supporters. I’m constantly reminded that Daybreak Arts has always been a shared effort—built together every step of the way—and yesterday proved that once again!
Thank you Chapstick Sports Bar for hosting our Kelly Clarkson Show watch party! Chapstick Sports Bar created the perfect vibe to celebrate such a big moment—even creating the perfect Kelly Clarkson playlist that everyone enjoyed before the show started! From the welcoming atmosphere to the thoughtful touches throughout the event, Chapstick Sports Bar was the perfect place to celebrate this national tv spotlight!
