Polygamous youth talent show raises charity funds
SALT LAKE CITY (AP) — A talent show featuring youth from Utah's polygamous community has generated an $1,800 donation to a statewide domestic violence hotline.
Sponsored by an equal rights committee of the polygamy advocacy group Principle Voices, the October talent night featured more than 20 vocalists and musicians. Nearly all were kids.
Principle Voices co-founder Anne Wilde says the event was designed as a service project for youth. Nearly all of Utah's polygamous sects were represented. About 250 attended the performance which was held in a private home.
The funds generated were donated to Linkline, a 24-hour domestic violence hotline run by the nonprofit Utah Domestic Violence Council.
Wilde says Linkline has suffered under state budget cuts. The hotline connects callers with counseling, shelters and other services.
