Fundraiser for Charlie Williams, the ‘noiseguy’

A “Make Some Noise for Charlie” fundraiser will be held from 10 a.m. to noon on Sept. 19 at Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.

Friends of Charlie Williams, (aka the “Noiseguy”) are holding this family-friendly fundraiser to help him while he recovers from a serious motorcycle accident he had in May.

The evening of the accident, he and Nancy Stewart were scheduled for a show at the Mercer Island Library.

The Chancy and Narly Show has been rescheduled for 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 7.

A donation of $10 per family will include live family entertainment, games for kids of all ages, “Noise Karaoke,” and live and silent auctions and drawings for donated merchandise from Northwest artists and musicians. There is also a crowdfunding website set up at Crowdrise: “Laughter is the Best Medicine!”

Williams has ties to Mercer Island through his many donations of time and talent to Nancy Stewart’s Sing With Our Kids Project.

For more information, contact Nancy Stewart at Nancy@nancymusic.com.
