Friends in Harmony began in 2005, starting off with 16 friends who loved to sing and harmonize. Our first year we set out to entertain at Christmas corporate and private parties. We created a 25-minute show not knowing if we would have anywhere to perform! To our surprise, we not only had places to perform, but gave away $2000 profits that first season! After our first season, we increased to 24 members and decided to do a show to benefit United Way. Our show was held at the Washington Intermediate School Theater. Our two-night show more than doubled our contribution to the community to $4300! Currently, Friends has given over $76,700 to not-for-profit organizations in the Pekin area!
