Each participant chose a local charity to represent, and those finishing in the top three received a cash prize to donate to the charity of their choice.

Taking first place with a solo performance from Hamlet was Chuck Pulliam, who picked the YMCA as his charity.

Runner-up went to 18-year-old Tyler Layfield, representing the Salvation Army.
