We’d like to thank our audience, family, friends, and the Rocky community for your support of the PurplePalooza charity 5K for Family Shelter Service! We blew past our goal of $4711 and raised $5200 to help survivors of domestic violence.
The walk was Sept. 29 and we are ready for October, baby! Come check out the show, try our new Rocky Horror-related drinks, and let’s PARTY!
Our #FreeToFly (Formerly Heroes For Hope) 5K Charity page is live, and you can find it here!
Each year, we raise money to help Family Shelter Services in their efforts to bring help to victims of Domestic Violence! Please visit our page, and contribute anything you can to help those who truly need your support! Our goal, as always, is a whopping $4,711.00, but we’ve exceeded that before – help us do it again!
Special Thanks to team members Audrey Fontaine, Ruth Fink-Winter, Jess Henry, and Brian Banks for bringing the first round of donations to the table, but you, too, can help! If you’re a member of the cast, sign up to participate and help support this great cause! If you’re an audience member, please feel free to donate, either at the above link, or at one of our shows (Pssst…we do them every Saturday night)!
Thanks to all of those who have already donated!
To motivate you, here’s a shot of our very own Jess Henry (aka “Pinky”), kicking ass for the cause last year!!!
Thanks to our friends and fans who helped us raise more than $5500 for charity Family Shelter Service at this year’s 5K walk! We were proud to walk with members of Indiana cast Help Me Mommy as Team Rocky Horror.
Halloween was AWESOME. But it’s Halloween, so duh. We love it, and we’re mostly recovered – see you at the show!
We’re proud to announce that we are walking in the Heroes for Hope charity 5K for the 5th year to raise money for Family Shelter Service. We have raised over $20,000 for FSS in the last 5 years and we are collecting money at the show, so please bring a little extra when you come see us. No donation too big or too small – we will happily take your pocket change; we’re not proud.
The big walk is Oct. 30 at Midwestern University, and we’ll be rocking our corsets at 8am right after our big Halloween show – wait’ll they get a load of us!
We are teaming up this year with Indiana cast Help Me Mommy, and we have donations from as far away as Israel, Japan, France and Germany! You can support us with a credit card donation here:

Thank you for your support – DOMESTIC VIOLENCE SUCKS!
This is Alexander. He’s a cat, but he’s donated for the last 3 years to the Heroes for Hope 5K against domestic violence!
We’d like to thank Alexander, and thank the rest of our friends who’ve donated more than $500 so far to fight domestic violence. We are 10% of the way to our goal of $4711!
You can help too: please give at http://fss.donorpages.com/WalkRun/ Tell us Alexander sent you!
Summer is finally turning into fall – we love corset and stocking weather! Come join us, wish our college-bound members luck, and join us in the countdowns to Halloween and our annual 5K costumed walk against domestic violence!
Thank you to our audience and other supporters for a very successful Fight for Air stair climb to fight lung cancer on Feb 8! Our 6 person team all finished, and with your help we raised $1350 for the American Lung Association.
We were featured in the Chicago Tribune on-line and our photos from the event were shared by Lady Patricia Stephens (Pat Quinn, who played Magenta!) on her Facebook page.
We’re now the #1 Google result for both “Rocky Horror” + Charity and for “Rocky Horror” + “Fight for Air” and we’re so proud.
Love to you all – cancer sucks!
It’s 2 days until the Heroes for Hope charity 5K, and with the help of the Rocky Horror community (and our families and friends – hi, Mom!) we have raised nearly $4500 to fight domestic violence. Rocky Horror plays in 32 states in the US – we have donations from 29 of them!
When we wake up Sunday morning to put on our makeup, pull on our fishnets and lace up our shoes, we believe we’ll have $4711 to hand to the fine folks at Family Shelter Service. Thanks to all of you for your help!

Summer’s over, and we’ll miss it. But you know what that means: Halloween is coming!
We’re walking 5K in our Rocky Horror costumes for local domestic violence shelter Family Shelter Services on Sept. 28. We need your help – our goal is $4711! (Want to know why? Take a good look at Frank’s leg when you come see the show Saturday.)
Please bring a little extra cash to the show – we will be collecting for the charity. Every little bit helps, and we love you for it. The shelter is just down the street from our theater. They help thousands of people in our community, and even $5 will fund a child’s breakfast in the shelter. (And we really, really want to be the Girl Scouts team.)
THANK YOU!
