The sixth season of the Kids Got Talent contest has raised $80,000 for the Children’s Safety Village of Belleville.

Held Nov. 9 at the Empire Theatre, it featured performances from people ages four through 17 in dance, instrumental and vocal music, and more.

“It was a night filled with pure joy, community spirit, and incredible talent,” safety village executive director Rachelle Baldock wrote in a news release. She said the total amount raised was “outstanding.

Organizers thanked all participants, families, volunteers, sponsors and guests.
