Members of the international burlesque community showed their love for our Living Legends by helping to send them to the Weekender. Those who contributed to the 2016-17 Legends Challenge not only helped us bring vintage superstars to Las Vegas, but by reducing the costs borne by BHoF, they also support the Burlesque Hall of Fame itself!
Founded by Sparkly Devil in 2011, Legends Challenge is in its fourth year and as the Burlesque Hall of Fame has grown, so has our commitment to celebrating the women and men who make burlesque great. This year’s turnout: Over $10,000.00 raised so far!
All funds raised went to Legends’ hotel rooms, Legends’ Weekender passes, and assisting with travel expenses for Legends who were honored by specific Legend Challenge events or who expressed need of assistance.
If you are interested in helping raise or donating money to the Legends Challenge, please contact GiGi La Femme at challenge@burlesquehall.com
