Jun. 18—In preparation for the Cabaret for a Cause charity burlesque performance this October, a fundraiser to help with the show's production costs is scheduled for today, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Uptown Forum in Greenville.
The charity burlesque scheduled for Oct. 1 will be Greenville's second Cabaret for the Cause. Back in 2018, a group of volunteer performers and crewmembers dubbed themselves Troupe De Lish and raised about $5,000 to support organizations that help survivors of domestic abuse.
At the inaugural Cabaret for a Cause, the 35-or-so ladies and gentlemen from the Hunt County area who made up Troupe De Lish danced, sang, and otherwise entertained with more unusual acts like angle grinding (in which an angle grinder is dragged across a metal garment to produce sparks). It was held in the courtyard of the Corner Street Pub.
This year, Troupe De Lish will be performing to help Bras for the Cause Hunt County in its fight against breast cancer.
Today's support event for Cabaret for the Cause will include live music, food and a silent auction.

Getting donations to Afghanistan earthquake victims will be far more difficult compared with other disasters due to sanctions against the country’s Taliban government and its troubled relationship with Western nations, experts say. International groups that maintained operations in the country following the collapse of its government last year have rushed to eastern Afghanistan to coordinate aid in the region. Already, the humanitarian response – which typically surges in the first 72 hours following an earthquake – has lagged in both size and speed due to the lack of pre-positioned supplies and the level of hunger and poverty that already exist in Afghanistan.
